Radiological Safety Training for Radiation-Producing (X-Ray) Devices
Student's Guide
IV.
MODULE 104 - RADIATION DETECTION
A.
OBJECTIVES
i.
Module Objective.
Upon completion of this unit, the participants should understand which radiation-
monitoring instruments and which personnel-monitoring devices are appropriate for
detecting X-rays.
ii. Objectives.
Following self-study and/or classroom review, the participants will be able to:
1.
Identify the instruments used for X-ray detection and
2.
Identify the devices used for personnel monitoring.
B.
RADIATION SURVEYS
Radiation protection surveys should be conducted on all new or newly installed X-ray devices
by the X-Ray Device Control Office (or facility-specific equivalent) and repeated at a
frequency determined by site policies.
C.
X-RAY DETECTION INSTRUMENTS
External exposure controls used to minimize the dose equivalent to workers are based on the
data taken with portable radiation-monitoring instruments during a radiation survey. An
understanding of these instruments is important to ensure that the data obtained are accurate
and appropriate for the source of radiation.
Many factors can affect how well the survey measurement reflects the actual conditions,
including:
