Frequently asked questions

What is radiation awareness?

Radiation awareness involves understanding the sources, risks, and safe handling of radiation to minimise exposure and health hazards.

What are the preventive measures of radiation?

Key measures include limiting exposure time, maintaining distance, using shielding, and monitoring radiation levels.

How can radiation be prevented?

While radiation itself can't be "prevented," exposure can be reduced by using protective barriers, avoiding unnecessary exposure, and following safety protocols.

What are three basic radiation protection control methods?

Time – Reduce the time spent near radiation sources. Distance – Increase distance from the source. Shielding – Use materials (like lead or concrete) to block radiation.
