MODULE 104 - RADIATION DETECTION

OBJECTIVES

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:

Identify the instruments used for X-ray

detection and

Identify the devices used for personnel

monitoring.

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.

X-RAY DETECTION INSTRUMENTS

Objective 4

External exposure controls used to minimize the dose

equivalent to workers are based on the data taken with
