Fig. 3: Measures for protection against radioactive radiation
1 Shielding
2 Time
3 Distance
Shielding: Provide good shielding between the radioactive source
and yourself as well as all other persons. Special source containers
(e.g. VEGASOURCE) as well as all materials with high density (e.g.
lead, iron, concrete, etc.) provide eective shielding.
Time: Stay as short a time as possible in radiation exposed areas.
Distance: Your distance to the source should be as large as possible.
The local dose rate of the radiation decreases in proportion to the
square of the distance to the radiation source.
The plant operator must appoint a radiation safety ocer with the
necessary expert knowledge. He is responsible that the radiation
protection ordinance is maintained and that all radiation protection
measures are implemented.
Control areas are areas in which the local dose rate exceeds a certain
value. Only persons who undergo ocial dose monitoring are allowed
into these control areas. You can nd the respectively valid limit values
for control areas in the guideline of the respective authority (in Ger-
many, for example, the radiation protection ordinance).
We are at your disposal for further information concerning radiation
protection and regulations in other countries.
