The VR-1 training nuclear reactor is a research nuclear facility particularly used for training and teaching university students and nuclear power plant personnel. Important parts of the VR-1 reactor operation are information services and promotional activities in the field of nuclear literacy. Every year, more than 1200 visitors, mainly high school students, come to the reactor too. The reactor staff prepares an attractive program, including details of reactor operation. Radiation protection of staff, external workers, students, and other visitors is a priority concern at the VR-1 reactor. The sophisticated system of both technical equipment and qualified staff guarantees low occupational and public exposure. The knowledge of the reactor staff in protection against ionizing radiation, the safe manipulation of radiation sources, methods of measurement, solution of radiation accident, and new national and international recommendations are re-established every year. A graphical presentation is required tool for it. The presentation reminds staff of basic procedures and underlines important changes in the workplace. It contains many graphs, figures, pictures, tables and notices. The basic principles of radiation protection are simply articulate there. One part is aimed at instructions in safety for students, and visitors and work methods with them. |
