RBC Detection, Identification and Monitoring

1. Analyze characteristics of RBC detection, identification and monitoring
2. Classify and distinguish RBC detection, identification and dosimetry technics, methods, and means
3. Recognize and analyze factors that influence quallity of RBC detection and identification
4. Arrange, demonstrate and manage the work with the resources RBK detection, identification and dosimetry
5. Arrange RBC reconnaissance and classify resources to implement RBC reconnaissance
6. Assess of RBC contamination and plan marking of RBC contaminated areas

The lectures will provide theoretical insigh in RBC detection, identification and monitoring

Field education includes sampling and in situ gathering of the informations.

The laboratory exercises are practical part of the curse performed under supervison of the lecturers.
