A radioactive isotope in a suitable source holder is the prerequisite for
a radiation-based measurement setup.
The handling of radioactive material is regulated by law. The radiation
protection rules of the country in which the system is operated apply
rstandforemost.
In Germany, for example, the current radiation protection ordinance
(StrlSchV)basedontheAtomicEnergyLaw(AtG)applies.
The following points are important for measurement with radiation-
based methods:

When handling a radioactive source, unnecessary radiation exposure
must be avoided. An unavoidable radiation exposure must be kept as
low as possible. Take note of the following three important measures:
