방사선안전관리책임자 보수교육의 현황에 따른 정합성 판단

Determination of Consistency according to the Status of Supplementary Education for Radiation Safety Management Managers

Medical institutions wishing to install and operate diagnostic radiation generators must complete appointment training within one year of appointment based on the ｢Medical Act｣ and the ｢Rules on Safety Management of Diagnostic Radiation Generator Devices｣ which will come into effect on January 1, 2024. Additionally, You must receive supplementary education every three years from the date you received it. The strengthening of safety management for diagnostic radiation generators used in medical institutions means that although the radiation exposure that may occur when using diagnostic radiation generators is low, the risk of carcinogenesis may be higher than previously evaluated. In addition, safety management of diagnostic radiation generators can be said to be an essential requirement because it has been reported that the incidence of leukemia and other diseases is increasing in diagnostic radiation tests. However, the safety management training targets and programs for radiation exposure management operated by other organizations other than diagnostic radiation generators are significantly different. In addition, since the public institutions that are responsible for radiation safety management are divided, there is a risk of duplicative, excessive, and under-administrative application to medical institutions and educational institutions that install and operate diagnostic radiation generators. Therefore, we would like to determine their consistency by comparing domestic and foreign related cases and the provisions of the ｢Medical Act｣ and the ｢Nuclear Safety Act｣.
