NORM and TENORM

In the industrialized world, most of the doses absorbed by the population come from diagnostic investigations and therapies carried out with radiation sources.Reducing the amount of radiation absorbed by people without giving up the extraordinary possibilities offered by the clinical use of radiation is a mission conducted by doctors and specialist physicists

Radiation is an important support

for scientific research. Since in many cases high activity sources are used, the role of the Radiation Safety Manager is to protect researchers in the best possible way from radiation and contamination, also using remote detection devices and robots to identify and manipulate sources

Since the 30’ an incredible amount of radioactive sources and substances has been placed on the market in a uncontrolled and inadequate way. Although some inspections were inserted over time and despite the efforts of international agencies, a conspicuous amount of sources is still located on the territory putting at risk whoever may get in contact with them, as reported by many accidents

Much of the matter around us is made up of naturally radioactive substances. In some cases, the concentration of natural radioisotopes may be such as to increase the statistical risk of radio exposure. Furthermore, some industrial processes can modify the natural concentrations, making the substances more radioactive than they were originally

Many sources of radiation are used in industry for thickness measurement, non-destructive testing, gas and dust detection and many other applications.

Acceleration of particles for the production of electronic devices can also generate radiation and they must be properly shielded to safeguard the health and safety of workers

A large number of radiation sources are used for civil and industrial applications, such as non-destructive checking of welds or checking baggage in ports and airports. Constant verification of the effectiveness of barriers and protection methods constitutes a primary safeguard for safety

Radon is an odorless, tasteless, colorless, noble radioactive gas. It’s chemically inert, electrically neutral and heavier than air. The gas is constantly generated by some terrestrial crust rocks and may accumulate in enclosed spaces. It is the cause of a significant percentage of lungs tumors and thus has drawn attention of World Health Organisation
