Radiation Symbol

Obtain legal approval to store and handle isotopes



Use occupancy less area for storage

Follow suggested design of storage, otherwise
obtain competent approved alternative design

Store radiography cameras / sources in pit in a
separate storage room

Keep the storage room under lock & key always
SAFE STORAGE OF SOURCE
Continue

Check proper storage of source inside camera
after every use.

Use survey meter check radiation leakage

Post Warning signs along with radiation symbol

Operator shall maintain log book to record
usage of the equipment
SAFE STORAGE OF SOURCE
Continued.
STORAGE OF RADIO ACTIVE CAMERA & SOURCE
Layout Plan for Radiography Camera Store Room
The following information to logged:

Date & time of taking the source with camera
Type & strength of sources
Model & serial no. of camera
Name of the radiographer
Location of use
Type & number of exposure
Duration of use
Date & time of return of the source with camera

Safe Work Practices
Carry out Radiography operations during

No occupancy times
Far away from workplace
Night hours

Less occupancy times
Holidays
Lunch Hours

Make wire fence / brick enclosure for
regular radiography area.
Transportation of sources
Check source pencil is securely immobilized and
locked in camera

Inform BARC (Baba Atomic Research Centre),
Mumbai, if damage to the cameras during transport,
non-receipt of consignment in the reasonable time

Avoid Maintenance and servicing of radiographic
equipment without consulting the Radiological
Safety
Officer (RSO)
Cordoning the radiography area

Calculate the safe cordoning distance

Make barricades with warning signs

Make reflective signs during night time
operation

Use survey meter to check radiation level at
cordoned boundaries

Ensure adequate illumination

Safe Work Practices
Example Calculation

Iridium-192 of 20 curie is used in open field of Occasional
Occupancy for a period of 5 hours per week.
Calculate the cordon off distance. Take Public dose limit as
2mR/week and B as 40.
Cordon off distance in the direction of primary beam:
D
2
= (K x A x W) T / P
= (500 x 20 x 5) (1/16) / 2
D = 39.5 m

Cordon off distance in the directions other than primary beam
direction:
D
2
= (K x A x W)T / (P x B)
= (500 x 20 x 5) (1/16) / (2X40)
D = 6.25 m

Following Industrial Radiography Information form

Radiographer carries film badge / dosimeter







Radiographers dose limit is below the permissible limit
( chart shown in next slide)
Radiographers follows the safety instruction strictly

Safe Work Practices
Continue..
Ensure
Operators undergoes regular medical check up as per
BARC

Source is not handled by hand

When source is expose it is advised to

Stand behind buildings / steel / shielding materials

Stay away from source of radiation

Limit exposure for particular operator /day

Make use of full length cable provided
between radiographic equipment and the
control unit / panel

Operator aware about his dose records and
reports of periodic medical exams
Safe Work Practices
Continued..
Safe Work Practices
Make collimated exposure
Avoid panoramic exposure
Use full length camera
Use suitable supporting and fastening devises
Camera operation behind barriers
Plan well the activities to limit exposure time.
Use radiation survey meter to check the
source returns to safe position

Maximum Permissible Dose Limit
Cumulative dose for an occupational worker can be (N-18) Rems,
N is the age of the radiography workmen. On an average it shall not
exceed 100 milli Rems per week, 1 Rems per calendar quarter and 5
Rems per year. 250 to 400 RADs are sufficient to make it fatal in 50%
of the cases within 30 days. With 50 to 100 RADs, the skin will turn
reddish and a little higher dose will make the hair fall.
