| Resumen |
Potential hazards were studied from X-rays, radium and accelerators used in non-destructive testing, level gauges, instrument calibration, flow gauges, luminising, semiconductor manufacture, etc. The data came from records of 10 states and a commercial personnel dosimetry service, and the analysis covered reported incidents, inspections and citations for violations of regulations and radiation exposures over several years. Operator errors were the most frequent cause of accidents. The mean whole body exposure from X-ray sources was less than one-half of, while that of radium source exposure of workers was about the same as, exposure of workers in nuclear reactors. There were no extraordinary occupational hazards from these sources. Recommendations are made covering accurate and uniform reporting, training manuals, inspection without advance notice and research on unreported incidents. |
