Sources of Radiation exposure associated with RASP Flashcards
Specific sources of radiation exposure from Radiological Affairs Support Program (RASP)
States the different sources that would be required to have an NRMP (Navy Radioactive Materials Permit)
Permit Sources- Gamma Radiography, RADIAC calibration, research, and analytical measuring instrument
Non-Permit Sources- Include any ionizing radiation producing device by electrical means. X-ray radiography, linear accelerators, electron microscope, electron beam welders
Two most common radioisotopes used in gamma radiography
Isotopes- Iridium-192 - Colbalt-60
Two activities or shops where industrial radiation sources may be found
Non-destructive testing (NDT) laboratories
Radiation calibration (RADCAL) laboratories
