Use of radiation and radiation sources in
public domain is exponentially on the rise from medical and industrial
applications. Security of the radiation sources is important since any lost,
stolen and misplaced radiation source, or source in the hands of miscreants can
create an emergency-like situation. It is the responsibility of one and all of
us to be aware of the consequences, and means to protect ourselves, our near
and dear ones, and protect others.
However, there is not adequate awareness
about the radiation utilization, and radiation protection and safety amongst
the public in general, and people who take the benefits from the applications.
Radiation protection is not taught in colleges. In order to create a
general awareness amongst the people, a website is created and recently
updated. The free website is: www.radsafetyinfo.com
Request everyone to go through the site, and give comments if any. They may also spread this information to create the awareness about radiation and its benefits.
