[en] According to a research paper recently presented by the same authors, it has been demonstrated that approximately 50% of the information that reaches the public through the media communication is correct. The remaining 50% corresponds to information that is not within the standards accepted by the scientific community and could be considered either incorrect or erroneous, or information that induces the reader towards a line of thought that could be assumed biased. He This work focuses on 50% of the information that could be improved in order to increase considerably the percentage of the correct information which will possibly impact the public perception of nuclear issues linked to their peaceful uses. One will be made comparison between the calculated risks, associated with some practices, which we will call cases, and the perception of risk of the society before these same activities relieved through surveys and / or interviews Articles extracted from the public media on the subject will be analyzed of the cases addressed with the objective of quantifying the classification of that information as correct, erroneous or biased and project its influence on public perception. The work presents an assessment between public perception and the calculated risks associated with the same typology of cases

[en] Introduction: During the COVID 19 pandemic, which led to the isolation of people and the suspension of in-person training activities, virtual methodologies allowed continuing training activities to continue. In addition, for professionals who, due to the pace of their routine activities or their geographical location, cannot access new knowledge, these tools have become relevant. Materials and methods: The Nuclear Regulatory Authority (ARN) and the Institute of Medicine and Radiomedicine Healthy People (IMRM) developed a video course aimed mainly at health professionals and first responders in radiological and nuclear emergencies. This training activity is coordinated and coordinated by the ARN Training and Training Unit. The course chapters are self-administered and with self-assessment instances to verify the knowledge acquired. Finally, students are evaluated in a virtual synchronous manner, posing cases that allow comprehensive understanding to be demonstrated. The syllabus includes: ionizing radiation, both from a physical and biological point of view; radiopathology services that accompany the emergency response such as physical, internal and biological dosimetry among others; diseases associated with exposure to ionizing radiation; the actions of first responders and other organizations on the scene; legal aspects linked to radiation damage. Results: The call for the first edition has been very important, and led to the requirement of two instances for 2022 and 2023, to cover the demand for registrants, which demonstrates the importance of these strategies for the dissemination of knowledge. Conclusions: The impact of this training modality in the community of professionals not specifically related in their daily activities to ionizing radiation, will result in a greater and better response capacity to radiological and nuclear emergencies.

Introducción: Durante la pandemia de COVID 19, que motivó el aislamiento de las personas y la suspensión de las actividades de capacitación presencial, las metodologías virtuales permitieron continuar con las actividades de formación continua. Asimismo, para los profesionales que debido al ritmo de sus actividades rutinarias o su ubicación geográfica no pueden acceder a nuevos conocimientos, estas herramientas han cobrado relevancia. Materiales y métodos: La Autoridad Regulatoria Nuclear (ARN) y el Instituto de Medicina y Radiomedicina Gente Sana (IMRM) desarrollaron un video curso dirigido principalmente a profesionales de la salud y primeros respondedores en emergencias radiológicas y nucleares. Esta actividad de capacitación es compaginada y coordinada por la Unidad de Capacitación y Entrenamiento de la ARN. Los capítulos del curso son autoadministrables y con instancias de autoevaluación para verificar los conocimientos adquiridos. Finalmente, los alumnos son evaluados en forma virtual sincrónica, planteando casos que permitan demostrar la comprensión en forma integral. El temario comprende: las radiaciones ionizantes, tanto del punto de vista físico como biológico; los servicios de radiopatología que acompañan la respuesta a la emergencia como dosimetría física, interna y biológica entre otros; las enfermedades asociadas a la exposición a radiaciones ionizantes; el accionar de los primeros respondedores y otras organizaciones en la escena; aspectos legales vinculados al daño por radiación. Resultados: La convocatoria para la primera edición ha sido muy importante, y condujo al requerimiento de dos instancias para el 2022 y para el 2023, para abarcar la demanda de inscriptos, lo que demuestra la importancia de estas estrategias para la difusión del conocimiento. Conclusiones: El impacto de esta modalidad de capacitaciones en la comunidad de profesionales no específicamente relacionados en sus actividades diarias con las radiaciones ionizantes, redundará en una mayor y mejor capacidad de respuesta a las emergencias radiológicas y nucleares.
