Safety in Industrial Radiography: A Short Review

Nuclear industry have increasing demand from the world because its advantagestowards us.It can generate larger scale of energy using little material.However,there iscertain awareness to us.In 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear incident happen in Japanbecause of tsunami giving a major damage towards environment and people it is theworstincidentsinceChernobyl.Itgivesalotdamageandthelandunlivablefordecades.Then, power plants radioactive waste radiation to environment.There are fewincident related to radioactive waste and it is real life threat.These materials can beharmful to environment for decades to come. Radiography is a non-destructive method used by most industry to discover the structuralproperties of material or to check for any defect in the material that can cause a failure in theprocess. The type of radiation used by the industry for radiography technique is ionizingradiationsuchasx-rayandgammaradiation,itisastrongradiationsource.Workingwithsucha dangerous radiation need some decent skills and protection to avoid any radiation exposuretotheworkerthatwillresultinsomeserioushealthcondition.Notonlyitcanaffecttheworker,if it is handled recklessly, it can degrade the quality of the final product and causing pollutionto environment.
