Ionizing radiations resulting from radioactive materials are widely used in many applications in various fields. The industrial applications include: as consumer products, industrial radiography using γ-radiography cameras and radiography X-ray and nuclear gauging applications. In medicine they are used for diagnosis and treatment in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and medical radionuclide's as main branches. In science and research can be mentioned: materials science, material irradiation, radiation damage research, crystal colour enhancement, tools for physics, research reactors and nuclear power plants experiments and radioisotopes production. Moreover, radiation is applicable irradiation processed articles, electronics testing, semiconductor -as silicon -production, material characterizations, biological applications, agricultural applications, archaeological applications, and tracer techniques. The workers in these applications are subject to some risks. To minimize these risks and maximize benefits it is necessary to apply radiation protection program to protect those workers. The current paper introduces the main factors for this protection in simply, followed with practical results. Some exposures are acceptable and regulated by the Egyptian Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority (ENRRA).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
