Radiation Protection is the name given to work that ensures any exposure to ionising and non-ionising radiation is reduced as low as reasonably practicable. Ionising radiations can produce changes to living cells, and includes X-rays, Gamma rays and other types of radiation such as protons and neutrons used either in examinations to diagnose diseases, or as a treatment for …
This report provides guidance and general information on the management of process streams or equipment contaminated with minor concentrations of Naturally Occurring Radionuclides (NORs).
The main purpose of this Safety Guide is to provide practical guidance on meeting the requirements of the Basic Safety Standards as they relate to the radiation protection of …
Proposals for development of other deposits are underway.

There is concern that work scenarios on the tantalite mining sites in Oke-Ogun, Oyo State, Nigeria may cause occupational radiation exposure of workers due to enhanced concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides in some process materials. A prior radiological assessment of the mining activities was carried out to determine if and which exposure …
This particular training course is based on a Safety Report on Occupational Radiation Protection in the Uranium Mining and Processing Industry (SR-100), which has been developed as part of the IAEA programme on Occupational Radiation Protection to provide for the application of its safety standards in implementing a graded approach to the protection of …
Radiation protection can be defined as the protection of people and the environment from the detrimental effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. 1 The application of ionizing radiation in diagnostic radiography has both positive and negative effects on the patients. 2 Radiation protection has three main principles namely justification, optimization (ALARA, …
