Radiological Awareness Training
Radiological Awareness Training
Radiological Awareness Training prepares you to work safely on and around radiologically contaminated sites.
Radioactive contamination, also called radiological contamination, is the deposition of, or presence of radioactive substances on surfaces or within solids, liquids or gasses (including the human body), where their presence is unintended or undesirable.
Such contamination presents a hazard because of the radioactive decay of the contaminants, which emit harmful ionizing radiation such as alpha particles or beta particles, gamma rays or neutrons.
The degree of hazard is determined by the concentration of the contaminants, the energy of the radiation being emitted, the type of radiation, and the proximity of the contamination to organs of the body.
