of the components separately.
Quantity discounts apply. See details below to buy online.
While the course is directed primarily at individuals, it is often used by
groups studying together. For group study, we recommend that each student have
his or her own copy of the textbook, student manual, and exam package. One
set of audio CDs and one reference package have proven to be sufficient
for three to four students. |

The
extremely popular Basic Radiation Protection Technology Fifth
Edition text is the basic tool around which our comprehensive
self-study course is built. There are 15 main chapters in the 866-page
text, divided into three major units:
*
Theory
* Instrumentation
* Operations

The text is generously illustrated with over 600 photographs and
drawings, and each chapter concludes with a "problem set" and "reading
list." The 2006 fifth edition features new material on nuclear
terrorism scenarios, emergency operations and special Homeland
Security instruments. Also added or expanded are topics on radioprotectants,
the Large Hadron Collider, biological methods of remediation, and
FRMAC.
NRRPT®
News reported that successful exam candidates overwhelmingly cited
Dr. Gollnick's Basic Radiation Protection Technology book as
their main study guide in preparing for the exam. A review of
an earlier edition by a nuclear power
station technician trainer states, "It is nice to see a
book designed for the average radiation protection technician
that presents the material in an understandable and straightforward
manner . . . this is an excellent general training aid. You've
done a great job."
The text is now available as both a printed soft cover book and
electronically as a CD-ROM disk. The CD is compatible with both
the PC and Macintosh platforms.

The
Basic Radiation Protection Technology self-study course was
developed to meet the needs of both experienced technologists as
well as people new to the field. The course is designed as a complete,

examination given by the National Registry of Radiation Protection
Technologists (NRRPT®).

Our
materials provide you with an excellent, systematic introduction
to the theory, instruments, and daily practice of radiation protection
technology. Examples and applications are drawn from a variety
of practical settings including reactors, hospitals, accelerators,
and industry.
Student
Manual

The
Student Manual serves as a roadmap, guiding the participant
through the vast amount of information contained in the self-study
course. The manual presents the basic mechanics of the course
and contains a complete subject outline, as well as complete
worked-out solutions for every problem in the Basic Radiation
Protection Technology text.

For each chapter of the textbook, the manual includes:
- Study Plan
- Log Sheet
- Lesson Outline
- Lesson Objectives
- Problem Set Solutions
- Self-Test (with answers so that you can immediately check
your performance before going to the next lesson)
Audio CD Set

Dr. Gollnick's series of 8 audio CDs performs three functions.
They provide:
1) Continuity between the "lessons" and "units"
2) Additional background information to enrich the lesson
3) A summary of highlights from the corresponding chapter
in the text

Approximately thirty-minutes of audio lecture are included
for the course introduction and each of the 15 lessons. Students
can listen to the CDs at home or while commuting, making
their travel time more productive.
