Traduction de «radiation conductivity » (Anglais → Français) :

"practical aspects of medical radiological procedures" means the physical conduct of a medical exposure and any supporting aspects, including handling and use of medical radiological equipment, the assessment of technical and physical parameters (including radiation doses), calibration and maintenance of equipment, preparation and administration of radio-pharmaceuticals, and image processing.

(31) Undertaking means a natural or legal person who has legal responsibility for carrying out a practice or who has legal responsibility for a radiation source (including cases where the owner or holder of a radiation source does not conduct related activities);

(49) Practical aspects of medical exposure procedures means the physical conduct of a medical exposure and any supporting aspects including handling and use of medical radiological equipment, and the assessment of technical and physical parameters, including radiation doses, calibration and maintenance of equipment, preparation and administration of radio-pharmaceuticals, and image processing as carried out by, among others, radiographers and technicians in nuclear medicine and radiotherapy;

Radon is a radioactive gas that is naturally present in the soil and that penetrates buildings via the floors and foundations. Surveys conducted recently in the European Community have revealed average concentrations inside buildings of the order of 20 to 50 becquerels/m3 (Bq/m3), which corresponds to a radiation dose for members of the public of 1 to 2.5 millisieverts a year (mSv/yr).

A by no means exhaustive list would include : - on nuclear energy, the Community is collaborating with the Japanese Atomic Energy Research Institution (JAERI) on nuclear materials safeguards and with the Radiation Research Foundation on radiation protection; - on energy and the environment, the Community is participating in joint workshops with the AIST and the NEDO (bodies under MITI) on measures to minimize the impact of CO2 and on advanced catalysis processes for combustion and is conducting exchanges with the Environment Agency on CH2 and N2O, two greenhouse gases; also the Commission and Japan are in regular contact to coordinate international research on global climate change; - together with the MITI, the Commission is providing s ...[+++]upport for the "Company of the Future" project in which European and Japanese research centres are cooperating on methods of managing RD in information technology companies; - the different Institutes of the Community's Joint Research Centre (JRC) have joined their Japanese counterparts in a variety of research activities in addition to those mentioned above.

Section 16 of the regulations states that when a licensee becomes aware that a dose of radiation received by or committed to a person may have exceeded an applicable dose limit - I am leaving out some of the bits, if I may - then the licensee shall do the immediately do the following: notify the person and the commission; require the person to leave any work that is likely to add to the dose; conduct an investigation to determine the magnitude of the dose and establish the cause of the exposure; identify and take any action required to prevent the occurrence of a similar incident.
