Radiation Protection Requirements for Source Exchange in Industrial Radiography
Source Exchange is undertaken to temporarily remove and return a Source Assembly from a Gamma Source Projector to allow examination, maintenance and test to be undertaken on the projector or to allow a redundant Source Assembly (spent) to be removed and replaced with a new Source Assembly. Ideally Source Exchange should be undertaken off-site in…
Read MoreRadiation Protection Requirements for use of Desktop XRF Analysers
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials and can also be used to determine the thickness of coatings applied to a material. Desktop XRF Analysers contain a relatively low energy X-Ray Generator, which is a source of ionising radiation. This article highlights key radiation protection requirements…
Read MoreRadiation Protection Requirements for Small Animal Veterinary X-Ray Radiography Diagnostics
X-Ray radiography is a commonly utilised non-invasive diagnostic tool in small animal veterinary practice using a variety of X-Ray techniques including conventional, dental, computed tomography (CT) and/or fluoroscopy. The HSE have been undertaking an on-going programme of inspections on veterinary practices against, with continued evidence of a very high level of material non-compliance to IRR17.…
