WHAT ARE THE MAJOR RADIATION PROTECTION PRINCIPLES?
There are three major principles that assist in maintaining ALARA and can help prevent both unnecessary exposure and overexposure.
ALARA – As Low As Reasonably Achievable means means making every reasonable effort to maintain exposures to ionizing radiation as far below the dose limits as practical.
