    The document outlines basic principles and methods of radiation protection including justification of practice, optimization of protection, and individual dose limits. It discusses the ALARA philosophy of keeping radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable. The primary methods of radiation protection are limiting time of exposure, increasing distance from the source, using shielding, and protective clothing and hand washing to prevent internal exposure.

    PRINCIPLES AND METHODS

    OF RADIATION PROTECTION
    Basic principles of
    radiation protection
    Basic principles of radiation protection

    Justification of practice

    Optimization of protection

    Individual dose limits


    The ALARA philosophy

    As low as
    reasonably
    achievable
    Primary methods
    of radiation protection
    Basic methods of protection against
    exposure to ionizing radiation

    Three basic
    factors
    • time
    • distance
    • shielding
    Time
    Exposure rate Time = Total dose
    X
    =10mGy/h

    1 hour = 10 mGy

    2 hours = 20 mGy
    Distance
    Inverse square law

    d=50cm

    150 mSv/h
    0.06 mSv/h
    Protection against external
    exposure
    Shielding photons
    Half value layer (HVL)
    Internal exposure
    Protective clothing
    and hand washing
    Temperature

     For cell kiling effects, tissues are


    more radiosensitive at higher
    temperatures

     Chromosome aberrations increase


    at lower temperatures (suppression
    of repair process)
