| Popis: | Natural radioactivity and the use of x-rays and radioactive substances in the practice of medicine are the main sources of radiation exposure to the general public. The protection standards used in all countries are based on the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. These standards are being observed by the nuclear industry and have succeeded in protecting both nuclear workers and members of the general public. The dose received from nuclear power generation is a tiny fraction compared to the doses received from nature and medical practice. |
