In June 2007, the United States Department of Energy incorporated revised values of neutron weighting factors into its occupational radiation protection regulation Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations Part 835, as part of updating its radiation dosimetry system. This has led to a reassessment of neutron radiation fields at high energy accelerators such as those at the Fermi National Accelerato...

background: in recent decades many guidelines has been conducted by radiation protection organizations about radiation protection in dentistry. this study aimed to evaluate the observance of these guidelines in educational clinics of all dental schools in iran. material and methods: in this cross-sectional study a self-administered questionnaire, based on national radiation protection board (nr...

A comprehensive review of the effects of exposure to low levels of ionizing radiation, BEIR VII-Phase 2: Health Risks From Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation, was published in 2006. The BEIR (Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation) reports are a series of publications by the National Academy of Sciences. The last BEIR report on the effects of low level radiation, BEIR V, was publish...

background and aims. pregnant women often do not receive proper dental care in emergency visits due to a lack of awareness of the effect of radiation doses and the involved risks for the fetus. the aim of the present study was to assess the awareness of general dentists practicing in tabriz, iran, of the risks involved during exposure to diagnostic dental radiation in pregnant women. materials ...

The characteristic of infrared radiation, their effect on the human body is provided. outcomes study and calculations intensity (thermal) radiation workers in foundries are presented. necessity compliance with necessary rules labor protection, development a complex sanitary, hygienic, therapeutic, preventive measures to optimize working conditions, prevention occupational illnesses proved. Meas...

Introduction: Becuase of the most radiation dose receiving by human is related to medical radiation exposures, and also Computed Tomography (CT) is a special type of radiography that is one of the main method of radiation exposure today, and it's growing increasingly. Therefore, radio technologists working in CT scan imaging centers, are at risk of radiation. Due to the high am...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Professional radiation workers are occupationally exposed to long-term low levels of ionizing radiation. Occupational health hazards from radiation exposure, in a large occupational segment of the population, are of special concern. Biological dosimetry can be performed in addition to physical dosimetry with the aim of individual dose assessment and biological effects. ...

Large-scale epidemiological studies of U.S. Department of Energy workers have been underway since the 1960s. Despite the increasing availability of information about long-term follow-up of badge-monitored nuclear workers, standard-setting bodies continue to rely on the Life Span Study (LSS) of A-bomb survivors as the primary epidemiological basis for making judgments about hazards of low-level ...
