Individual shielding during maintenance operations under conditions of radioactive contamination

  • Published:
The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

The basic characteristics of shielding during maintenance operations under conditions of radioactive contamination are discussed, and the basic principles of organization of maintenance personnel shielding are established. A brief description of the design of individual shielding devices is given, as well as their operational characteristics. Particular attention is given to the specific areas of utility of the various devices. The article is intended for persons working directly with radioactive materials, as well as for those working in the area of radiation safety.
