abinõude kogum ioniseeriva kiirguse kahjuliku toime vältimiseks; hõlmab nii inimeste ja materjalide kaitse välisallikast tuleva kiirguse eest kui ka biosfääri radioaktiivsete ainetega saastumise vältimise
branch of science and technology which deals with the protection of persons and their environment against deleterious effects arising from ionizing and non-ionizing radiation
radiation protection is concerned with the protection of individuals, their progeny and mankind as a whole, while still allowing necessary activities from which radiation exposure might result. The detrimental effects against which protection is required are known as somatic and hereditary; radiation effects are called "somatic" if they become manifest in the exposed individual himself, and "hereditary" if they affect his descendants.
radiological protection - radiation protection in radiology
The purpose of radiation protection legislation is to protect the general public, workers and the environment against the dangers of ionizing radiation.
Cooperation should extend to nuclear research and development on nuclear safety and to regulatory and operational aspects of radiological protection. Cooperation relating to nuclear fission research and development in such fields as safety, radiological protection, health and the environment, and safeguards may be subject to specific agreements between the Community and the United States of America.
