MicroShield^® Pro Expert Training Sessions

The MicroShield^® Pro Expert Certification will document your ability to perform advanced, sophisticated radiological analyses, dose calculations, shield sensitivities, as well as source selection and time dependent predictions using the MicroShield^® software. This certificate will verify your mastery of the MicroShield^® software including model development, material selection, source term entry, selection of buildup factors and interpreting dose rate results.

The current schedule for MicroShield^® Pro Expert Certification includes:

MicroShield^® Specialist Training Sessions

The MicroShield^® Specialist training will enhance your ability to perform radiological analyses and dose calculations using the MicroShield^® software. These one or two day classes provides the fundamentals of running a MicroShield^® casefile, including model development, material selection, source term entry, and interpreting dose rate results.

We offer public or private, custom training sessions (either in-person or online) based on the needs of your users and background. One and two day training class options are available. The one day class will cover the fundamentals of radiation physics and the MicroShield^® software including:

1. Selecting the optimum geometry to conservatively perform the assessment.
2. Selecting materials which provide a balance between as built conditions and data library relevance.
3. How to input source terms in a variety of methods to conservatively model the radiation.
4. Selecting the best build up material.
5. Performing dose assessment and shielding evaluations for exposures in air as well as absorbed doses and dose equivalents.

The two day class covers the fundamentals of fundamentals of radiation physics and the MicroShield^® software and also includes detailed explanations of:

1. Creating external sources, decaying sources, and importing sources using the External Source Tool.
2. Creating and evaluating a custom material using the Custom Material Tool
3. Discussion on perform source inference calculations using the Source Interference Tool
4. Calculating the time dependent dose rate using the Exposure Rate Tool
