What is the purpose of a radiation survey?

Surveys provide a direct measure of area radiation levels and detect the presence of radioactive material inadvertently spilled on a person, surface or piece of equipment. Surveys are therefore an indication of the radiation hazard present either during or after an experiment.

How do you do a radiation survey?

With the appropriate probe, a meter survey is conducted by slowly passing the probe over the area or object to be surveyed. Be certain to survey at a constant speed - approximately 2 cm/sec. The distance from the surface or object should also be constant. A distance of 1 cm is suggested.

When must a radiation survey be performed?

After each day of radioactive material usage/experimentation. After transfer of radioactive material from stock solutions. After each experimental run if there is a possibility of a change in radiation levels or contamination. After a minor radioactive spill clean up or emergency.

What does radiation safety include?

Preventive measures To do this, you can use three basic protective measures in radiation safety: time, distance, and shielding. Time refers to the amount of time you spend near a radiation source. Minimize your time near a radiation source to only as long as it takes to accomplish a task.

What is radiation safety assessment?

A radiation risk assessment is carried out to identify the measures necessary to restrict the exposure of employees and others from ionising radiation. ​
