About the book

The book is intended for anyone who works with open sources, sealed sources or X-ray equipment.

It is aimed at radiation protection officers (RPOs) working with:

– industrial radiography equipment

– measurement and control applications

– dispersible radioactive substances at C and D level

– medical applications.

It fulfils the course requirements for the RPOs in these sectors, as laid down in Appendix 5.2 Part A of the Regulations on basic safety standards for radiation protection.

In addition the book may be used for:

– radiation workers in these settings

– radiation protection experts

– anyone with an interest in this issue (managers, policy makers, journalists, etc.).

New to the fifth English edition is that – in addition to the basic knowledge – in-depth paragraphs have been included; these are not part of the course requirements. An extensive literature list has also been added. The book is now entirely in full colour.

This book is a translation of the Dutch publication Praktische stralingshygiëne, ISBN 9789491764523
