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eectiveshielding.
Time: Stay as short a time as possible in radiation exposed areas.
Source: 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ocer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ocial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.
