Radiation Protection Programs

Radiation Protection Programs are organized efforts to ensure the safe use of radioactive materials and equipment. They establish policies, procedures, and safety measures to minimize exposure to radiation for workers, the public, and the environment. These programs include training, proper equipment, monitoring radiation levels, and following regulations to prevent accidents and health risks. The goal is to balance the benefits of using radiation—such as medical treatments or energy production—while protecting people from potential harm. Overall, they promote safety, compliance, and responsible handling of radioactive sources.
