You will also understand:
- The effects of exposure to radiation
- Identify who are radiation workers and their roles and responsibilities
- Distinguish types of radiation workers (classified, monitored, visitors)
- Understand further training requirements for individuals
By the end of this section you will be able to:
- Define radiation
- Identify types of radiation
- Understand Quality factors
- Apply Dose units
Introduction to Radiation
Objectives
There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation - heat, light, radio waves and UV. Ionizing radiation – Alpha, beta, gamma and neutron. Ionising radiation is harmful to the body.

- Alpha - α
- Distance travelled in air (2-3cm)
- Shielded by paper/ skin (dangerous if ingested)
- Quality factor - 20
Although alpha particles can be shielded by minimal materials they are still very dangerous (Ionising). If ingested Alpha particles are very damaging to cells due to their size and strength, with a potential of causing cancer. This is signified by a quality factor of 20 (1-20, 20 being the highest severtiy)
