ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE MAJOR IN RADIATION PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY
The Associate in Applied Science with a Major in Radiation Protection Technology (RPT), also known as Radiological Control (RADCON), provides the student with the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to evaluate a work site requiring radiological controls. Students will be able to design a plan to minimize personnel exposure to radiation, perform required radiological surveys for radiation and radioactive contamination, and manage a radiation protection program at a nuclear or Department of Energy (DOE) facility within the boundaries of radiological protection standards. Additionally, students will examine radiological survey data to detect and resolve errors in equipment operations.
