ARPANSA training supports response capability
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) recently delivered a comprehensive five-day training workshop to expand its emergency response capabilities.
Occupational exposure: Emergency workers and helpers
Emergency exposure situations require prompt action in order to avoid or reduce adverse consequences. Uncertainty surrounding the ionising radiation types and exposure pathways is likely, particularly in the early stages of an emergency exposure situation. This factsheet provides an overview to protect emergency workers and helpers from exposure to ionising radiation during an emergency.
ARPANSA establishing radiation monitoring network
We are establishing a network of radiation detectors to monitor Australian ports to assist in the national preparedness for a visiting nuclear-powered warship accident.
