2 Fundamental principles (ICRP) Justification Optimisation Application of dose limits
3 Fundamental principles (ICRP) Justification Any decision that alters the radiation exposure situation should do more good than harm.
4 Fundamental principles (ICRP) Optimisation The likelihood of incurring exposure, the number of people exposed, and the magnitude of their individual doses should all be kept as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account economic and societal factors. (The ALARA-principle)
5 Fundamental principles (ICRP) Application of dose limits The total dose to any individual from regulated sources in planned exposure situations other than medical exposure of patients should not exceed the appropriate limits specified by the Commission. N.B. other than medical exposure of patients ICRP-report 103 identifies three exposure situations: planned, emergency and existing
6 Radiation doses 1 Absorbed dose (unit 1 Gy = 1 J kg -1 ) Used in e.g. radiation therapy to specify the dose to the tumor Different radiation qualities (α, β, γ, n) can cause different degree of harm weighting necessary
7 Radiation doses 2 Equivalent dose (unit 1 Sv = 1 J kg -1 ) Used to calculate the dose to a tissue or organ Weighting factors for different radiation qualities given by ICRP Can be estimated by measurable quantities e.g.personal dose equivalent
8 Radiation doses 3 Effective dose (unit 1 Sv = 1 J kg -1 ) Used to calculate the whole body dose that gives the same detriment as the actual partial body dose Enables a comparison of risk from different exposure distributions
9 Radiation doses 3 Illustration to effective dose
10 Radiation doses 4 Effective dose (unit 1 Sv = 1 J kg -1 ) Weighting factors for different organs and tissues are given by ICRP Can be estimated by measurable quantities e.g.ambient dose equivalent

13 Radiation sources Radioactive sources Unsealed liquid, gas, powder Sealed Technical equipment X-ray machines Accelerators
14 Ionizing radiation from radioactive elements
15 X-ray equipment Generation of x-rays X-ray spectrum
16 Radiation safety in the lab External irradiation Short range radiation, e.g. α, mostly harmless when the source is outside the body β-emitters may cause severe skin damage if they are in contact with naked skin
17 Radiation safety in the lab Internal irradiation Radioactive substances in non-sealed sources (gas, liquid, powder) cause special concern Can enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, wounds or through the skin
18 Radiation safety in the lab External irradiation: Factors to be considered Time more time spent in the radiation field gives a larger radiation dose Distance inverse square law (for point source) Shielding shielding material depends on the source (α, β, γ)
19 Radiation safety in the lab External irradiation: Inverse square law
20 Radiation safety in the lab External irradiation: Inverse square law
21 Practical ALARA Practice before working with the real source Education before work Separate office and lab work Wear protective clothing and gloves All labs should be marked with signs Eat, drink etc outside the lab
22 Radiation safety in the lab External irradiation: Shielding: β- range in mm Electron energy / kev Al Fe Pb Plexi H-3: 19 kev; C-14: 156 kev; S-35: 167 kev; P-32: 1711 kev
23 Radiation safety in the lab External irradiation: Shielding: γ HVL in mm Photon energy / kev Al Cu Pb I-125: 35 kev; Tc-99m: 140 kev; I-131: 365 kev; Y-88: 1836 kev
24 Radiation safety in the lab Internal irradiation: Factors to be considered Activity the larger the activity the larger the radiation dose (for a given radionuclide) Radionuclide amount of energy per disintegration; type of radiation Metabolism element and chemical form determine the residence time in the body and concentration in organs

26 Radiation safety in the lab Classification of radionuclides Class A: very high radiotoxicity (ex. α- emitters: Pb-210, Pu-238, Cf-252, ) Class B: high radiotoxicity (Na-22, Ca-45, Co- 56, Co-60, Sr-89, In-114m, I-125, I-131, Cs-137, ) Class C: moderate radiotoxicity (C-14, Na-24, P-32, S-35, Ca-47, Cr-51, Fe-55, Fe-59, Co-57, Co- 58, Zn-65, Y-90, I-123, Tl-201 ) Class D: low radiotoxicity (H-3, C-11, Tc- 99m, )
27 Deterministic effects approximate threshold values >0,1 Gy Effects on embryo and fetus 0,5 Gy Temporary sterility, men 2 Gy Cataract 4 Gy Temporary hair loss 5 Gy Skin erythema 6 Gy Permanent sterlility, men 8 Gy Pneumonia 2-12 Gy Permanent sterility, women
28 Deterministic effects whole body irradiation Lethal dose (50 % of exposed individuals survive): 3-4 Gy Acute radiation syndrome blood forming organs, gastro-intestinal tract & central nervous system
