Radiation Safety

Why do we need radiation safety? Some wireline logging tools use small sealed radioactive sources: Cs137 - gamma-gamma density Co60 - gamma-gamma density Am241/Be - neutron logging tools The energy released by the sources is relatively small, however strong controls to manage the hazards associated with these sources are mandated by Government.

Government regulations Australia-wide Standards and Regulations Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Sealed Radioactive Sources in Borehole Wireline Logging (1989) Code of Practice for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Sources (1990) Western Australian Regulations Radiation Safety Act (1975-1999) Radiation Safety - General (1983-2000) and Transport of Radioactive Substances (2002)

Statutory Obligations License to own and use radioactive sources. Appointment of a Radiation Safety Officer. Maintain a Radiation Safety and Protection Plan to the satisfaction of the Radiological Council (WA) Ensure all users adequately trained in safe handling of radioactive sources Maintain and keep records of personal protective devices and dose monitors for all users Ensure safe storage and handling procedures to ensure dose is below specified thresholds (ALAR)

Key Principals to minimise exposure Time Distance Shielding
