RMTC objectives

The curriculum contains 27 different courses subdivided into 6 series encompassing all major subjects of NMC&A:

  • Computerized control and accounting of nuclear materials
  • Techniques and instruments for mass and volume measurements of the product in technological equipment
  • Non-destructive techniques and instruments for measurement of NM mass and content for material in bulk form and items
  • Product sample analysis
  • Tamper indicating devices (TID)
  • Bar coding technologies for NMC&A
  • Assessment of NMPC&A system effectiveness
  • Nuclear safety assurance during the NMC&A procedures
  • Physical inventory taking planning and conducting
  • Application of statistical methods and software for NM balance estimation, mass measurements and verification of inventories. 

Training groups

Groups consist of 15—20 persons, which makes it possible to maintain an appropriate feed-back with the trainees during the course and helps a better understanding of the program subjects.

Manuals and training materials

Each trainee is given a complete set of methodological materials of the course to assist in the training and further practical work. 

Certificates of course completion

Trainees showing successful studies at the course are given certificates of qualification. Each trainee has to pass an exam. For this purpose RMTC developed a computerized testing database with sets of questions (over 500 questions in the database).

On-site training courses

There is an increasing practice of using mobile teams for direct on-site training on related subjects, except for the courses involving the use of NM, radioactive substances and sources.
