Radiation -protectant

Although the presented results prove the efficiency of radioscopy, this system have certain characteristics which justify to develop and employ further process integrated testing systems. One of this characteristics is that the integration of radioscopy in industrial applications is doubtful because of reasons of radiation protection. This means, that the results from radioscopy should rather be used to fit other systems (acoustic emission analysis or temperature analysis) for industrial applications. 

The paper presents the results from systematic comparisons of contrast and resolution obtained with different types of radiation sources on steel thicknesses from 5 to 40 mm. These results have been taken into account with the definitions of the European standard for radiographic inspection of weldments (EN 1435) that is approved since 1997. Conclusions from practical investigations on pipe line sites, in petrochcemical plants and in nuclear power stations will be discussed as well. Furthermore, the presentation will stipulate a variety of advantages obtained from the new source in terras of coUimation and radiation protection.

To ensure that during normal operation, maintenance and decommissioning, and in emergency situations, the radiation exposure to workers and the public is kept below the dose limits given in the Basic Safety Standards for Radiation Protection (BSS). The standards are set at a maximum of 5 REM annually and a maximum of 3 REM quarterly. 

Deals with issues that affect the quality of our air and protection from exposure to harmful radiation. OAR de >el-ops national programs, technical policies, and regulations for controlling air pollution and radiation exposure. Areas of concern to OAR include indoor and outdoor air quality, stationaiy and mobile sources of air pollution, radon, acid rain, stratospheric ozone depletion, radiation protection, and pollution prevention.

The radiation sensitivity of polymers and monomers is characterized by a G value the number of radicals formed per 100 e.v. (16 aJ) absorbed. Radiation sensitive groups include -COOH, C-halogen, -S02-, -NH2 and -C=C, Radiation resistant groups are aromatic rings. It appears that the presence of aromatic moieties also offers some degree of radiation protection to the polymer chain as a whole.
