Learning outcomes
• To learn the basic laws of physics, to master the methods and principles of both the theoretical solution of nuclear-physics problems and the planning and execution of a nuclear-physics experiment in order to develop students' skills in setting up an experiment, observing nuclear-physics phenomena and processing the results of an experiment.
• Feel free to orient yourself on the qualitative and quantitative level in the main nuclear-physical phenomena
• To develop the skills of practical use of acquired knowledge, methods and approaches in the further assimilation of courses in the specialty of nuclear physics.

Assessment methods and criteria
The educational discipline "Radiation protection and radiation safety" is evaluated according to the modular rating system. It consists of 2 modules. The results of students' educational activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale. semester evaluation:
1. Two modular test papers (maximum – 20x2=40 points).
2. Survey during lectures (maximum – 10 points).
3. Evaluation of independent home tasks (maximum – 10 points).
- final evaluation in the form of an exam (maximum -40 points)
