1. The biological effects of nuclear radiation (NR). The efects on cells, tissues and organisms, recovery mechanisms. The single-shot and deterministic and stochastic radiation, the early and late effects of NR. 2. The quantities and units for radiation safety. The activities, doses, equivalent doses, effective doses, the individual types of radiation and the radiaton weight factor, the tissue weight factors, the inner contamination, the loads of equivalent and effective doses. The previous units and the conversion relationships. 3. The principles of radiation protection. The history of radiation protection, the system of limiting the doses, the principle of reasoning and optimalization of radiation protection, the limits of doses (primary and secondary). 4. The legislation and organization of radiation protection in the CR, the "Nuclear Law" and the delegated legislature. The directive concerning the requirements for securing radiation control, specific activities, and special professional abilities, the division of radiation sources, the activity of the State Office for Radiation Safety - licensing and inspection. 5. The protection during operations with ionizing radiation, the utilization of ionizing radiation in industrial and mediacal operations, the contained areas, the documentation for ionizing radiation, the monitoring of workplaces and workers, the protection against external radiation, the protection against internal contamination, the competence of workers and the health service for workers with ionizing radiation. 6. Radiaoactivity and ionizing radiation and the environment. The overview of radiation sources, natural radiation, space radiation, the cosmogenic and terrestrial radioactive elements, the decay chains, the radiation from medical sources. 7. The radon radiation and its regulation. The source sof radon - subsoil, construction materials, water; the legislation - the measuring of land before construction, the supervision of construction material production and the production of drinking water. 8. The radon programme in the CR - the detection of objects with a high concentration of radon and the elimination activities. 9. The nuclear energy industry. The principle of nuclear fission, the types of nuclear reactors, the components of the fuel cycle and their impact on the environment, the uranium extraction, the production of the fuel cells, the operation of nuclear power stations, the treatment of the used fuel, the treatment of the nuclear waste. 10. The nuclear waste and the introduction of radioactive substances into the environment, the legislation, the treatment and manipalution with radioactive waste, the activtity of SURAO (the Board of Radioactive Waste Dumping Grounds), the dumping ground Richard. 11. The emergency situations and radiation accidents. The accident plans, the emergency events and radiation accidents, the international scales of evaluating emergency events and radiation accidents, the Chernobyl accident and its environmental impact, other examples of nuclear accidents and their impacts.
