FREE IRRSP Radiation Protection Questions and Answers

As Low As Reasonably Achievable

As Large As Radiation Allows

Always Leave Area Rapidly

As Long As Radiation Exists

Correct! Wrong!

The ALARA principle focuses on minimizing radiation exposure to the lowest practical level.

Time management, ignoring distance, no shielding

Shielding only, no need to consider time or distance

Using time, distance, and shielding together

Relying solely on personal protective equipment (PPE)

Correct! Wrong!

Integrating these three principles provides the most effective radiation protection.

Prolonging the exposure duration

Reducing the time spent near the radiation source

Ignoring the time factor and focusing on distance

Increasing the time spent in the radiation area

Correct! Wrong!

Limiting the time near the source reduces the total radiation dose received.

Increase exposure time

Reduce the distance from the radiation source

Shielding with appropriate materials

Ignoring exposure limits

Correct! Wrong!

Shielding is a key component of radiation protection, reducing exposure by absorbing or blocking radiation.

Measuring the distance from the radiation source

Monitoring cumulative radiation exposure

Shielding the body from radiation

Reducing the amount of radiation emitted

Correct! Wrong!

Dosimeters track the total radiation dose received by personnel over time.
