Safe Management of Spent Sealed Radiation Sources and Radioactive Waste in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is committed to the peaceful use of atomic energy and has signed all protocols and additional protocol of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in this regards. Bangladesh is operating nuclear facilities using radioisotopes, sealed radioactive sources (SRS) and generating radioactive wastes including spent SRS. This paper mainly focuses on the safe management of spent SRS gen...

Standardization of Radioactive Sources

INTRODUCTION Primary standards of radioactivity are in some ways, analogous to fixed points in the temperature scale in that each can be used for comparison with "unknowns" not too far removed from the standard. Over a thousand radioactive species are known to exist, but only a comparatively few satisfy such basic requirements for primary standards as: known decay scheme; appropriate half life ...

Paper MANAGEMENT OF SPENT SEALED RADIATION SOURCES

Spent or disused sealed radiation sources—no longer needed sources—may represent a risk of radiological accident or may be a target for criminal acts in countries where final disposal options are unavailable and where an increasing number of sources are being kept in extended storage. In developing countries, thousands of radium needles, teletherapy sources, oil well logging neutron sources, an...

Total occupational exposure during characterisation, conditioning and securing of radioactive sealed sources: a new dosimetric concept using active electronic dosimeters.

Radiation dosimetry in protection against ionising radiation involves research of all possible pathways through which natural or man-made radioactive materials can contaminate a habitat and actually harm its biota. It also takes into account natural and artificial (man-made) electromagnetic ionizing radiation (gamma and x radiation). This article presents a dosimetric study assessing exposure t...
