Abstract :
On-line educational means were developed, which assist training in radiation protection and in accelerator technology safety, in radiotherapy departments and industrial sterilization facilities. Hypertext and multimedia courseware are gaining importance in University and Professional Education, and may partially release the teaching staff, and offer them more time to concentrate on more substantive tasks, improving their interaction with the individual student. Radiation protection in radiotherapy and industrial sterilisation facilities includes several aspects concerning their planning, the hazard-sources, the environmental protection and the general safety. This presentation attempts a methodological approach to the radiation protection policies for low energy (up to 50 MeV) and high current (up to 1 kA) medical and industrial electron accelerators
