Theory of safety technologies

Summary

The introduction of the course is devoted to physical quantities, physical principles, technical measurements and experiments and their use in solving specific problems of security practice. Follows the section devoted to the principles of electromagnetic and mechanical waves and their applications, the principles of spectroscopic methods, defectoscopy and an overview of physical fields. The next part is devoted to basic information about ionizing radiation, sources, natural and artificial radioactivity, dosimetric quantities and their units. The conclusion deals with the principles and methods of radiation protection, detectors of ionizing radiation, including the use of radionuclides in practice.
