ALARA: DOSE REDUCTION DUE TO NEW SIMULATION DEVICES

The future full-time fire-fighters were trained in the practical handling of radioactive materials and measuring equipment at the NUVIA facilities in Dülmen, Germany. Thanks to the new simulation measuring instruments CoMo SIM (contamination detection) and the DolMo SIM (Dose and dose rate) the participant received no additional dose during their measuring equipment training. The technically modified devices respond to radio waves (DolMo SIM) or to magnetic fields (CoMo SIM) and can therefore be used for training scenarios even without radioactive sources.
