Cosmic Radiation Course released

infoWERK is happy to announce the release of another, significant elearning course for Operators - COSMIC RADIATION.

Cosmic ionizing radiation or short "Cosmic Radiation", is a form of ionizing radiation that comes from outer space. While even a very small amount of this radiation reaches the earth, radiation levels rise with higher altitude as well as at higher latitudes.

Therefore, on every flight, passengers as well as flight and cabin crews are exposed to cosmic ionizing radiation, depending on altitude and route at various levels.
This course will familiarize students with the basics of cosmic ionizing radiation, the exposure level, effects on humans as well as mitigating strategies. It also highlights the influence of cosmic radiation on instruments and infrastructure.
