Scientists have predicted that in the next 20 years, “Nuclear reactors will produce electricity so cheaply that it will not be necessary to meter it. The users will pay a fee and use as much electricity as they want. Atoms will provide a clean, safe and dependable source of electricity”.
We cannot deny the fact that radioactive substances are an untapped source and a bountiful reservoir of electricity. But what about the workers and employees who handle these hazardous nuclear waste materials on a daily basis? Well, they can start of by understanding the basic principles of 'Radiation Protection'. Some of the radiation safety standards are mentioned below:
1.Firstly, avoid any unnecessary personnel radiation exposures.
2.Next, keep your occupation exposure level as low as possible and
3.Finally, never ever exceed the dose limits.
In other words, you need to follow the ALARA (AS LOW AS REASONABLY ACHIEVABLE), if you handle radioactive concoctions on a day-to-day basis.
Furthermore, prior to commencing work, with any form of nuclear or radioactive material, you ought to follow these strict and necessary guidelines, they are:
1.First, you need to contact a Radiation Safety Officer.
2.Next, you need to attend a Hazwoper Safety Training Course or a “Radiation Management Training” program.
3.You must at all costs, attain a Radiation Monitoring Badge.
4.Finally, you need to work in accordance with a Standard Operating Procedure that has already been approved by the Department Radiation Safety Officer.
