Practical Radiation Protection
The book is intended for anyone who works with open sources, sealed sources or X-ray equipment.
It is aimed at radiation protection officers (RPOs) working with:
- industrial radiography equipment
- measurement and control applications
- dispersible radioactive substances at C and D level
- medical applications.
It fulfils the course requirements for the RPOs in these sectors, as laid down in Appendix 5.2 Part A of the Regulations on basic safety standards for radiation protection.
In addition the book may be used for:
- radiation workers in these settings
- radiation protection experts
- anyone with an interest in this issue (managers, policy makers, journalists, etc.).
New to the fifth English edition is that – in addition to the basic knowledge – in-depth paragraphs have been included; these are not part of the course requirements. An extensive literature list has also been added. The book is now entirely in full colour.
