Radiation Protection
Basic Principles and Regulations
The amount of radiation absorbed by the body (exposure to radiation) is
determined by three parameters from which the basic radiation protection
regulations can be derived:
Distance
If work close to equipment containing
radioactive substances is required, the
largest distance possible is to be kept.
In particular, this shall apply for
employees which do not immediately
participate in such work.
Time
Any work required in the vicinity of
radiometric measuring systems is to be
prepared carefully and to be organised
in a way that the work can be executed
as quickly as possible. Here, providing
the correct tools and aids is particularly
important.
Shield
When mounting and dismounting the
shield, it is to be ensured in advance
that the radiation beam outlet is
closed.
