Radiation Exposure Control
Introduction
Radiological protection is the discipline that studies the effects of the doses produced by ionizing radiation and the procedures to protect living beings from their harmful effects, its main objective being human beings.
Radiological protection in terms of decrees, standards, recommendations to protect occupationally exposed people and the general population from the adverse effects of ionizing radiation.
Premises
Its main premises for considering all its recommendations, whether endorsing or delegitimizing radiation applications or dose limits, drafting emergency plans, planning actions in case of emergency (countermeasures), or any other, are the following:
Exposure
Exposure is the fact that a person is subjected to the action and effects of ionizing radiation; that could be:
There are three types of exposure:
Stochastic effects, Deterministic effect
Depending on the type of cells affected and the biological effects of radiation, they can be:
STEM CELLS - TRANSITION CELLS.
They are divided into somatic = oocytes - spermatocytes = germ cells.
Somatic effects: they affect the cells that are part of the different tissues of the body, except the reproductive tissues (gonadal), in the long term these effects can give rise to cancer.
Personnel classification
Exposed Workers, students in training, members of the public, population as a whole.
Conditions of staff work (individual monitoring).
Environmental monitoring: ventilation system, intervention or contamination.
Radio protection elements:
