Ionizing radiation
Ionizing radiation - any radiation, whose interaction
with the environment leads to the formation of the
electric charges of opposite signs.
Kinds of radiation
γ
neutron
radiation
α
β
Alpha particles
A cluster of 2 protons and 2 neutrons (the nucleus of a
helium atom)
Travel extremely short paths (at most 10 cm in air) – the
lowest penetration ability
Readily stopped by a piece of paper, the top, dead layer
of the skin, film of water, rubber gloves and regular
clothes.
If they are kept outside the body - little damage results.
Possess great ionsing power – the highest ionizing
capability (the ionization density).
Hazardous only when taken into the body
(oral, inhalation - internal irradiation) –
The most dangerous type of radiation during
the internal exposure.
Beta-particles
A flow of electrons or positrons.
Ionizing capability is lower than that of α-
particles.
The penetration ability is greater than that of
α-particles – 15 cm – 18 m in air.
Depending on their energy, they can be
stopped by:
low atomic number - aluminum, glass, plastic.
high energy – steel, iron, zinc , aluminum.
Gamma-rays and X-rays emission
A flow of photons that do not have a charge.
The lowest ionization capability.
Present the most external radiation exposure
hazard.
The higher penetration power - hundreds meters
in air (they penetrate several centimeters of
steel).
To reduce radiation the shielding materials are
used: lead, copper, iron, cast iron, steel, zinc,
concrete, reinforced concrete, barytic beton).
X rays
X rays are produced by electron bombardment of
target materials. They are commonly used to produce
shadow pictures (roentgenograms) of dense portions
of objects.
The penetration of different kinds of
radiation

The source of ionizing radiation
Mobile screens to protect working place. There are movable screens for
various applications, particularly in X-ray cabinets.
Protective screens mounted as part of building structures (powerful
walls, floors, special doors, concrete partitions, labyrinthine input)
designed to protect the placement when the staff always is and the
surrounding area.
The screens of personal protective equipment (plate of
plexiglas, sight glass, lead impregnated glove, aprons)
Protection by medical staff against
internal exposure
Individual control
radiometric control contamination of skin and personal
protective equipment;
control the nature, dynamics and levels of radioactive
substances into the body using the methods of direct or
indirect radiometry;
doses of external control β-, γ-and X-ray radiation using
personal dosimeters or calculation methods.
