Many applications of nuclear science and technology require access to Ionizing Radiation Facilities. Self-reliance and sustainability are key parameters to consider during the design, development and utilization phases of these facilities. Their deployment, with exception of very small scale equipment, commences with a comprehensive feasibility study, followed by the development of required infrastructure, which includes the facilities as well as legislative, regulatory and training aspects, among others. A well managed project is required to guarantee successful progress of its implementation and full utilization after the facility starts operation and services.??The purpose of the course is to introduce guidance in the application of this methodology in the establishment of a new Ionising Radiation Facility through different phases of the project. It is directed at personnel of National Nuclear Institutions who require knowledge and practical experience in project management and implementation relevant to establishment of Ionising Radiation Facilities, including innovation and technology transfer initiatives as well as concrete programmes toward attaining self-reliance and sustainability.?The course was developed with support of a regional IAEA technical cooperation project RAS0080 ‘Promoting Self-Reliance and Sustainability of National Nuclear Institutions’.For additional information contact RRAppl.Contact-Point@iaea.org – please mention the IAEA e-learning course on Establishment of Ionizing Radiation Facilities.
