FOOTNOTES:
(I) Those who have the title of physicist, physical engineer, health physicist or nuclear energy engineer and who have a science specialist, graduate engineer or doctorate degree by getting education from at least one of the science, health sciences or nuclear sciences institutes of the universities
a) Completed postgraduate education on the subject in one of the sciences/departments of nuclear physics, basic oncology, clinical oncology or radiation oncology, or
b) Those who have completed their postgraduate education outside of the above-mentioned sciences/departments, in a way to certify that they have actually worked in a radiotherapy facility licensed by our Authority and for at least one year in the field of radiotherapy (on quality assurance and radiation protection, including patient dosimetry, treatment planning, optimization, quality control). must submit an official document signed by the radiotherapy physicist and the facility manager.
(II) It is requested from operating rooms where closed source applications (prostate, eye, etc.) are made.
(III) Before the license application procedures, it is obligatory to send the unit project to the Authority and obtain an Shielding Conformity Report. Please refer to the 'Radiotherapy Project Application Documents' for obtaining the Shielding Conformity Report.
