Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
PPE such as lead aprons, thyroid collars, and radiation badges are used to protect individuals from radiation exposure.
Containment Systems
Containment systems are engineered barriers that encapsulate radioactive materials to prevent the release of radiation into the environment.
Radiation Monitoring
Radiation monitoring involves the measurement of radiation levels in the environment and in individuals to manage exposure and ensure safety regulations are met.
Emergency Response Planning
Emergency response planning includes preparations and protocols to protect people in the event of a nuclear or radiological emergency.
Radiation Shielding
Radiation shielding involves the use of materials that absorb or block radiation to protect personnel and the environment from harmful exposure.
Exposure Time Reduction
Exposure time reduction limits the time individuals spend near sources of radiation, thereby decreasing the dose received.
Distance Increase
Increasing distance between the radiation source and the individual reduces the exposure following the inverse square law.
