Radiological Impact Assessment

Radiological Impact Assessment is a process that evaluates how exposure to radioactive materials might affect people and the environment. It involves analyzing potential sources of radiation, estimating how much radiation could reach humans or ecosystems, and determining the associated health or ecological risks. This assessment helps ensure safety by guiding decisions on managing radioactive substances, designing protective measures, and complying with regulations. Essentially, it’s a thorough review used to prevent or minimize adverse effects from radiation exposure in various scenarios like nuclear power, medical uses, or waste disposal.
