ASPECTS OF QMS IN RADIATION PROCESSING FACILITIES

Radiation protection at synchrotron radiation facilities.

A synchrotron radiation (SR) facility typically consists of an injector, a storage ring, and SR beamlines. The latter two features are unique to SR facilities, when compared to other types of accelerator facilities. The SR facilities have the characteristics of low injection beam power, but high stored beam power. The storage ring is generally above ground with people occupying the experimental...

Ionising Radiation at Radar Facilities

For some years contributions about radiation exposures at radar facilities or radar devices of the German armed forces were published in the German media. A lot of Soldiers or other specialised workers who dealt with these devices before 1975 claimed their diseases as been caused by the radiation. In most of the cases and the resulting reports it is not distinguished between the high frequency ...

Occupational radiation exposure in health care facilities.

BACKGROUND Radiation, which is used extensively to diagnose and treat human diseases, poses an occupational health risk for the concerned health workers. Personal dosimetry is an important tool to monitor occupational radiation exposures. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to reveal and to describe the situation of occupational radiation exposure monitoring among staffs in different health ca...

Synchrotron Radiation Facilities in the Usa *

With the successful commissioning and achievement of significant milestones at both the 7-GeV Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory and the 1.5-GeV Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, synchrotron radiation research capability in the United States holds the promise of many important discoveries in the decade to come. An overview of current ...
