Shielding - Provide good shielding between the radioactive source
and yourself as well as all other persons. Special source containers
(e.g.VEGASOURCE)aswellasallmaterialswithhighdensity(e.g.
lead,iron,concrete,etc.)provideeectiveshielding.
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.
