A variety of atomic and sub-atomic processes, including alpha, beta, and gamma decay or electron ejection from inner atom shells, can produce ionizing radiation. This radiation can in turn produce environmental and biological effects both harmful – including DNA damage and other impacts of so-called ‘radiation sickness’ – and helpful, including radiation treatment for cancerous tumors. …
Radiation is different from many other things that we cone into contact in our daily lives, because we can't see it, we can't feel, we can't smell it, we can't hear it, and we can't taste it. Thus, we will know if our body are now being exposed to radiation unless we measure it using radiaiton monitoring devices. In fact, we have been exposed to natural radiation in everyday life since the time…
This book consist : Introduction; Requirements of a calibration laboratory and the techniques to be used; Calibration facilities; Errors and quality control; and Instrument maintenance and repair. (Jml)
The higher LET, the more effeciently strand break occured. All of the natural compound used in this study has ability to protect against DNA damage either in low and hight LET with different capacity. Most of all results incicate that the yield of the SSB from decrease as the concentration of radical scavengers increased. By comparing either in low and high molecular damage EGCG and AA acted as…
This book explains clearly and in detail all aspects of radiation protection in nuclear medicine. After an introductory chapter on the general role of radiation protection, measurement quantities and units are discussed, and detectors and dosimeters, described. Radiation biology and radiation dosimetry are then addressed, with the inclusion of a chapter specifically devoted to biology and dosim…
This Safety Guide, co-sponsored by the ILO, provides general guidance on the establishment of an effective radiation protection programme for occupational exposure, appropriate for the sources of radiation likely to be encountered in a range of industries, medical institutions, educational and research establishments and nuclear fuel cycle facilities. It further provides the necessary guidance …
ISO 2919:2012 establishes a classification system for sealed radioactive sources that is based on test performance and specifies general requirements, performance tests, production tests, marking and certification. It provides a set of tests by which manufacturers of sealed radioactive sources can evaluate the safety of their products in use and users of such sources can select types which are …
This Safety Report summarizes good and current state of the art practices in industrial radiography and provides technical advice on radiation protection and safety. It contains information explaining the responsibilities of regulatory authorities, operating organizations, workers, equipment manufacturers and client organizations, with the intention of enhancing radiation protection and safety.
Since the publication of the previous report dealing with environmental monitoring the commission has revised its basic recommendations and some aspects of its philosophy dealing with dose limitation. Although many of the previous recommendations are still relevant it was felt necessary to reassess the general principles on which monitoring programs should be based, to make the recommendations …
This is the third National Report by the Republic of Indonesia. As reported in previous National Report and Review Meeting, the decision of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to ratify “the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management”, as ratified by the President Regulation No. 84/2010 on 28 December 2010, clearly demon…
