Radiation Safety

Radiation safety is central to cyclotron operations and radiopharmaceutical production. RMC applies established principles to minimize exposure while maintaining operational effectiveness.

Safety Principles

• Justification of practices and controlled use of radiation.
• Optimization to keep exposure as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).
• Dose limits and monitoring for occupational exposure.

Operational Controls

• Shielding and controlled access to radiation areas.
• Monitoring systems for radiation levels.
• Training and competency requirements for staff.
