Radiation protection officer (RPO) in BSS

  • Article 4 (74) "radiation protection officer" means an individual

who is technically competent in radiation protection matters relevant for a given type of practice to supervise or perform the implementation of the radiation protection arrangements

I supervise specific applications with ionizing radiation

SLIDE 4

Supervisory expert

  • Carries out a practise, or alternatively a practise is carried out under

supervision of the SE

  • Diploma attesting completion of RP training
  • Adequate continuing training and retraining
  • Registration is not required for SE in Dutch legislation

→ Dutch supervisory expert comparable to the radiation protection

  • fficer (RPO)

But the Dutch supervising expert is not (yet)

  • Practise-specific

Conclusions RPO

  • Educational system for Dutch RPO needs to be redefined to become

application-specific: – New application-specific learning oucomes (2016/2017): 9 specialisations – Laid down in national legislation (July 2017) Issues to be solved Exchange with other European countries still possible Common understanding learning outcomes RPO (ENETRAP/HERCA) Is registration RPO required? For which practises the designation of a RPO is necessary?

Radiation protection expert (RPE) in BSS

  • Article 4 (73) "radiation protection expert" means an individual
  • r, if provided for in the national legislation, a group of individuals

having the knowledge, training and experience needed to give radiation protection advice in order to ensure the effective protection

  • f individuals, and whose competence in this respect is recognised by

the competent authority;

10 15 June 2017 Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection

I am a recognized expert giving radiation protection advice

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Coordinating expert

  • Ensures that practises with ionising radiation are performed within

the legal framework (also for medical practises)

  • Radiation protection training (learning outcomes)
  • Registered in a special register

– Comply with registration requirements (Regulation Implementing Radiation

Protection Decree EZ)

  • Knowledge level EQF6

→ Comparable with the radiation protection expert (RPE)

General coordinating expert

  • Ensures that practises with ionising radiation are performed within the legal

framework (also for medical practises)

  • Grants internal permission for practises (complex license)
  • Radiation protection training (fulfills learning outcomes laid down in

legislation)

  • Registered in a special register
  • Knowledge level EQF7

→ Comparable to the radiation protection expert (RPE)

Conclusions RPE

→ Implementation of the RPE in the Dutch radiation protection system well advanced → Learning outcomes (ENETRAP based) → Registration requirements laid down in legislation Issues to be solved Not application-specific (broad) Tasks RPO performed by RPE: application and supervisory-specific knowledge (retraining)
