ALARA principle

The ALARA principle stands for "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" and is a safety guideline used in environments involving radiation. It means that efforts should be made to minimize exposure to radiation as much as possible, considering practical and economic factors. The goal is to protect people's health while performing necessary tasks, by using protective measures, optimizing procedures, and limiting time spent near radiation sources. Essentially, ALARA encourages balancing safety with practicality to reduce potential risks associated with radiation exposure.
