The radiological protection of the workers in the nuclear industry is an important part of the safety culture. Optimizing the radiation exposure through the “As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)” principle is a very important procedure for assessing workers’ safety and health.
A 3D ALARA planning tool is developed by China Institute for Radiation Protection (CIRP) to provide advanced,...
Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT) is an organization that provides nuclear and radiation technologies through research and development and industrial services of Thailand. TINT focuses on the safety and welfare of nuclear workers and the other people who use its nuclear technologies and services as the first priority. Since 2019, the Safety subcommittees of TINT has purposed...
Photon dosimetry is indispensable in designing an irradiation medical facility shielding. The purposes of radiation shielding are to protect the patients, the department staff, visitors and the public. As an example, for controlled and public areas, the radiation dose level should be in a reference value range of 0.75 μSv/h and 0.5 μSv/h [1]. While doing the calculations for the required wall...
Our development in the country's nuclear activities over time will be presented, as well as the country's experience in the Occupational Radiation Protection Appraisals (ORPAS) mission, which served to independently evaluate the implementation of occupational radiological protection requirements. in the most relevant facilities in the country.
The European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) is an association of about 80 European institutions collaborating for scientific understanding of the dosimetry of ionising radiation. Created 25 years ago, the specific working group, WG2, has been dedicated to fostering harmonization in individual monitoring. This network is composed of about 40 members from 18 countries that participate...
Introduction
Continuous supervision of employee radiation dosage is crucial to sustain dosimeter standards in workplaces. In a variety of work places, radiation accidents continue to occur and eliminating them totally is still a great challenge. Employers strive to ensure compliance with radiation protection standards; where emergency plans are taken in the event of a radiation accident....
ANSTO has three campuses across two states of Australia and is the centre of Australia’s capabilities and expertise in nuclear science and technology. The variety of radiation sources at ANSTO encompasses the breadth of the health physics field. Our sources of ionizing radiation include but are not limited to: the OPAL multi-purpose research reactor; the Australian Centre for Neutron...
The main emphasis in radiation protection is the “optimization of protection”.
The methods for reducing doses covered a broad spectrum, which ranges from simple organizational adjustments to a modification of the design of the facility concerned. This presentation adopts the ALARA techniques means of avoiding exposure to radiation using the three basic protective measures in radiation...
Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT) is the Thailand government organization that has been carrying out core missions about nuclear applications and radiation techniques. Thai Research Reactor-1/Modification 1 (TRR-1/M1) has been one of the main cores for the utilization of nuclear applications at TINT since 1962 in order to serve the radioisotope production, nuclear technology...
Ionizing radiation has the potential to cause harmful effects to cells. The risk of these effects increases in a fetus, whose tissues are still developing. The effects of radiation, which is dependant on the amount of exposure received, can present as deterministic effects, which can be immediately seen or stochastic effects which present later in life or in the offspring of the fetus exposed....
