RADIATION PROTECTION

About this activity

Time: Minimizing the duration of exposure to a radiation source. Distance: Maximizing the distance from the radiation source, as radiation intensity decreases with the square of the distance. Shielding: Using appropriate materials to block or absorb radiation, like lead for X-rays. Engineering and Design: Incorporating radiation safety into the design of facilities and equipment to minimize exposure. Monitoring and Surveillance: Using dosimeters to measure radiation exposure and ensure it remains within acceptable limits.
