conclusions the effects of rp knowledge, attitude, and practice on job stress were significant. in order to reduce job stress in radiation environments, ongoing training programs related to self-care and protection principles are recommended. results the prevalence rate of job stress was 22.5% based on calculation formulas and possible scores on the jcq. sex, rp-knowledge, attitude, practice, a...

Introduction: Neutrons have many applications in various fields, such as medicine. The important application of neutron in medical science is in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). Because of this, determination of neutron dose and flux is critical for the health maintaining of workers and patients exposed to this beam. The neutron radioisotope sources produce gamma rays in ...

the present study deals with the analysis of the effects of radiative heat transfer of micropolar fluid flow over a porous and stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field. the dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficient have formulated by temperature-dependent relations to obtain more exact results. the flow is supposed two-dimensional, incompressible, steady and laminar and t...

Workers who maintain the water chambers of steam generators during the maintenance period in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) have a higher likelihood of high radiation exposure even if they were exposed for a short period of time. In particular, it is expected that the hands would receive the highest radiation exposure because of its contact with radiation materials. In this study, characteristic a...

This review describes the general provisions of and the philosophy behind European Directive 2004/40/EC and ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines. As an example of national legislation on the protection of workers against excessive electromagnetic field exposure, regulations established in Poland are summarized. The problems of a practical implementat...

Introduction: With the rapid advancement of technology in today's world, the use of ionizing radiation and radioactive materials has been expanding significantly. The use of radioactive resources and equipment in medical sciences is increasing. Failure to observe safety precautions when working with radiation can have serious risks for employees, people, the environment and eve...

introduction magnetic fields are capable of altering the trajectory of electron beams andcan be used in radiation therapy.theaim of this study was to produce regions with dose enhancement and reduction in the medium. materials and methods the ndfeb permanent magnets were arranged on the electron applicator in several configurations. then, after the passage of the electron beams (9 and 15 mev va...

This study was aimed to examine the association between the effective radiation dose of diagnostic radiation workers in Korea and their risk for cancer. A total of 36,394 diagnostic radiation workers (159,189 person-years) were included in this study; the effective dose and cancer incidence were analyzed between the period 1996 and 2002. Median (range) follow-up time was 5.5 (0.04-7) years in m...
