“OMIRIS®” Educational Tool

Abstract

The biological effects of ionizing radiations are one of the most important issues for workers exposed to these radiations in nuclear plants. To deliver information to workers about this topic, the “Utility medical work officers” wanted an educational tool. This tool named “OMIRIS” was prepared under the authority of the FE3R (Professors federation in radiology, radiobiology and radioprotection) and the industrial nuclear partners in France (ANDRA, AREVA/COGEMA & FRAMATOME-ANP, CEA & EDF). The use of animation techniques helps to present in a simple way this complex topic using an interactive, pleasant and comprehensible form.
