What Job Experience Might be Useful for a Radiation Safety Officer Job?
Workers in nuclear power plants and other institutions where radiology is used may be exposed to higher doses of radiation, by the nature of their professional activities and directly, by exposure to radioactive materials. Taking into account the biological effects of ionizing radiation, various protection measures have been developed over time, involving physical, chemical and biological protection. Physical protection includes several basic elements such as reducing the exposure time, increasing the distance from the source, shielding radiation sources, as well as a series of well-established organizational measures. The exposure time is directly proportional to the radiation dose received, a longer time being directly associated with an increased dose. That is why minimizing the time in which a person is under the action of ionizing radiation is an important component of…
