Training Outline - Radiation, Ionization, & Radioactivity - Radiation Dose - Radiation Safety - Questions ??

Electromagnetic Radiation: Gammas and X-Rays

Background Radiation US Average ~ 360 mrem/yr Denver, CO ~ 700 mrem/yr Brazil (beaches) ~ 5,000 mrem/yr

Reactor (generates neutrons) Neutron Neutron Experiment Stations Beam Tubes Man Made Ionizing Radiation The NCNR Layout

Radiation Exposure

Types of Exposure

Radiation Dosimetry General Public Dose Limit = 100 mrem/yr Average Dose to US Public = 360 mrem/yr Occupational Dose Limit = 5,000 mrem/yr Average Dose to NIST Researcher ~ 50 mrem/yr

Health Physics Labels/Signs >5 mrem/hr (whole body dose rate) >100 mrem/hr (whole body dose rate) ~100,000 mrem/hr (localized dose rate)

Radiation Detection / Measurement

Time, Distance, and Shielding

Distance – Inverse Square Law

Shielding

Campfire Analogy

Contamination Control Always monitor yourself and items you have with you when leaving a controlled area.

Ionizing Radiation - Overview Can not see it, feel it, or smell it - we must rely on training and equipment to protect ourselves Relatively simple to detect and measure - unlike chemical and biological hazards - we can quickly assess and take action Biological effects have been intensely studied for 50 years
