The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) course is an intensive, high-level professional program designed for individuals tasked with the administrative and technical oversight of a facility's radiation protection program. This means ensuring that nuclear level gauges, industrial radiography sources, and NDT operations are managed according to the highest safety standards. This course is specifically aligned with the NRRC examination syllabus and covers the management of both sealed and unsealed sources, regulatory documentation, and emergency command.

  • Manage Radiological Licenses: Prepare and submit license applications, renewals, and amendments via the NRRC Aman and RSO portals.
  • Design Radiation Programs: Draft and implement a comprehensive Radiation Protection Program (RPP) and Emergency Response Plan.
  • Master Technical Calculations: Perform shielding design calculations and stay-time estimations for workers in high-radiation areas.
  • Oversee Dosimetry & Health: Manage TLD/EPD monitoring programs and interpret annual dose reports to ensure compliance with occupational limits.
  • Conduct Compliance Audits: Lead internal inspections of source storage, signage, and leak-testing records.
  • Authority Liaison: Act as the official point of contact for NRRC inspectors and coordinate during radiological emergencies.

1.Physics & Radiation Fundamentals: In-depth review of atomic structure, isotopes, and decay math.

2.Biological Effects & Risk: Detailed study of DNA damage, stochastic vs. non-stochastic effects, and risk weighting factors.

3.Radiation Detection Theory: Gas-filled detectors, scintillators, and semiconductor physics.

4.Operational Protection: Practical application of ALARA, time, distance, and advanced shielding concepts.

5.Regulatory Framework in KSA: Exhaustive review of NRRC-R-01 (Safety) and NRRC-R-17 (Security).

6.Administrative Requirements: Inventory control, leak testing, calibration schedules, and record-keeping.

7.Transportation of Sources: Requirements for Yellow-II and Yellow-III packaging and placards.

8.Emergency Management: Incident command, area cordoning, and communication with civil defense.
