Nükleer Enerjinin Riskleri ve Nükleer Santrallerde İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği

Abstract

Düe to the increasing energy reqüirement with the increase in popülation, coüntries prefer nüclear energy to meet their energy needs. Nüclear power plants are üsed as an alternative, especially since they do not caüse global warming and pro-düce high energy. Despite all its positive effects, nüclear energy also has dimensions that threaten the environment and hüman health. For this reason, the concept of safety in nüclear power plants is very important. Öccüpational health and safety measüres are important for both the environment and hüman health when the power plant is operated withoüt safety precaütions düring the design phase. If necessary precaütions are not taken in nüclear facilities, employees are exposed to hazards and risks in terms of occüpational health and safety, and as a resült of accidents, radioactive materials mix with water and soil and caüse environmental pollütion. In addition, radioactive contamination poses great threats to hüman health. In this stüdy, the risks of nüclear energy, its effects on hüman health and nüclear accidents are mentioned. The arti-cle was prepared within the scope of the stüdies in the literatüre, and the safety practices in nüclear facilities and the occüpational health and safety measüres that shoüld be taken together were evalüated.
