RPO Result

Alhamdulillah... with a full of efforts and prays that I put on to this course and examination. Finally, I've got the answer.
I'm really proud with myself and happy that I managed to pass it. Alhamdulillah again.. Now I've got a licence of 'Radiation Protection Officer' - RPO in nuclear gauge field. Soon, I plan to seat the NORM and TeNORM licence.

A Week of RTC

Round table for each delegations..Arrangement of seat according to alphabet.. start from B for Bangladesh..

End with V for Vietnam

Hopefully, all participants were happy with our hospitalities and treats in Malaysia.

Opening Ceremony for the IAEA/RCA Training Course on Computed Tomography

Alhamdulillah, the opening ceremony went smoothly.. Thanks to my registration team for the good job..Thanks to safety officer for the safety briefing...
The Course Secretary a.k.a event manager ... :)
Thanks to our IAEA representative, Prof. Dr. Muthanna Al-Dahhan for his great cooperation towards this course. A million thanks appreciation to our Director General, Datuk Dr. Daud Mohamad for the officiate the opening ceremony of RTC.
Thanks to all jawatankuasa kerja... I'm very glad for having you guys as a team..
Course Director, Dr. Jaafar with Mongolian delegate and the Emcee.. Thanks to Pak Muda..
Hope every thing will be fine along this week of the training course.

A Last day with Prof. Marchot

Thanks to Prof. Marchot for the knowledge sharing and assistance in creating the phantom program by using Matlab.
Hope we have more opportunities for having you here.
You are really a great man and very friendly man.

Photos of prof. Marchot with PAT staffs
We always remember how kind of you as you step out from here, leaving us...
again, photo with others PAT staffs
Final glance, and hooping to meet you again Prof..
Thank you so much and I will always remember all on your kindness and what ever you thought.

An Expert Visit - Prof. Marchot

Its a great opportunity for having Prof. Marchot, an expert from Belgium in here. He's good in programing especially in Matlab program. As a 1st day of meeting, we introduce to him what is our current project are running on related to the tomography system.
This is the most urgent project, which is need to be completed before 19th of July (RTC).
3 officer who posses their own project related on the Computed Tomography.
An idea and information sharing between Prof. Marchot and Dr. Jaafar.
Concentration is given in discussion related on MicroCT.
Sample in form of metal foam being test and to be analyzed by using the microCT. The aim is to learn and understang the using of lattice Boltzmann method in analyzing the samples.
Next, we been taught by Prof. Marchot in using of Matlab in order to analyze the image of the object scanned. Apart of that, He also helped me in solving the problem facing in EM algorithm programing using fortran system. Thanks God,he very helpful and very kind person.

IAEA/RCA Training Course on Industrial Process Gamma Tomography for Multi-phase Process Investigation of Petrochemical Plants

Currently I'm very busy with preparation of the IAEA/RCA Regional Training Course (RTC) on 19-23 July 2010. This year, Malaysia (Nuclear Malaysia) has been chosen as a host country organizer for the RTC.

List of participants already received from IAEA and thanks GOD that I'm one of the selected participant. This is the time for me to learn and get experience how the RTC conducted, what are the objective that need to grab, what opportunity and benefit I can earn and most importantly is linkage and network between the others country experts and researcher.

A lot of things need to do before the RTC started, thus I wish and hope that this RTC will be conducted smoothly and successfully as followed as planned.

Radiation Protection Officer (RPO) Course

Alhamdulillah, finally I'd finished my RPO exam which been held at AELB examination hall. All the efforts and work-hard along those 2 weeks was poured in paper only 2 days for assessment. Hopefully, I can manage to pass it. Insyaallah..

Anyways, here some ideas and tips to those who does not seat the examination yet.

For day One - Theory and Specific Cluster:

a) 30 objective questions on General paper

b) 20 objective questions on Cluster paper (for me I'm taking Nuclear Gauge)

c) 2 compulsory subjective questions and 6 choose 2 of subjective questions.

All these questions must be completed within 2 and half hour. Wow... tough huh...

For day Two - Practical and Theory Paper

a) Experiment on Shielding and Distance - same as what we've done during the lab session.

b) Data interpreting and question related on the experiment - Subjective questions

Here some questions that I can recalled for you to refer.

Subjective Question (Compulsory)

1. a) What is the different between security and safety of radiation source. (6 marks)

b) Give 2 factors of criminal of radiation source, give two example for each. (4 marks)

2. a) Give 3 purposes why a survey meter need to be calibrate. (6 marks)

b) Give 4 reason why a survey meter need to re-calibrate. (4 marks)

For Nuclear gauging question:

5) A new nuclear gauge instrument has been purchased and need to installation in the work place. Before the installation what are the responsibilities of RPO need to take in order to ensure the safety of work place. Give 5 responsibilities of RPO against it. (10 marks)

6. a) Give 2 types or radiation monitoring. (2 marks)

b) Describe the above answer and give some examples. (8 marks)

Overall, I can say that for objective question (general paper) is more easy if we do the exercise on pass years question paper. For specific objective paper a bit confusing and need to evaluate more on the answers given. And subjective paper, I don't have any advice due to too many things need to memories...

Note: Please refer example question book by AELB and reed more on the security and safety.

Last but not least, best of luck to all of you.
