Description of the different courses and Radiation Protection education system
In Hungary, the national legislation on radiation protection stipulates three levels of courses as a requirement to be RW* (workers don’t work with sources in radiation workplace, ie. drivers, cleaners, other technical personal (basic level – B) ), RW (working with sources-extended level – extended level - E), RPO (extended level- E) and RPE (advanced level -A).
The basic level course is minimum 8 hours, the extended level is minimum 26 hours, and the advanced level is minimum 40 hours.
The course thematic is specific in the medical, in the NPP, and in the radiography field. Other fields are not distinguished (standard).
The courses must be renewed after 5 years for each level.
