Understanding radiation protection, biology, dosimetry, and other pertinent topics is imperative for individuals working with ionizing radiation in medical or industrial settings. Understanding these subjects is the first step in minimizing radiation exposure risks for people and the environment (Ainsbury et al., 2021). The presentation delves into elementary concepts, ideas, and practices of radiation safety and human physiology. It describes the cellular and whole-organism biological effects of radiation, dosimetry methods for measuring and assessing radiation, and various types of protection against radiation.

[...] According to the LNT model, small doses of ionizing radiation can cause random cancer, mutation, or endocrine system damage. This ascertains the need for attention to minimal radiation exposure to lessen the risk of long-term health complications. The ALARA principle, roughly translated as "As low as reasonably achievable" and is the basis of radiation protection, gained traction as the primary focus of the efforts after the Chornobyl accident. It puts the relevance and need of keeping radiation levels as low as reasonably attainable, thereby employing measures such as shielding, distance, duration limits, and personal protective equipment to shield individuals and the environment against the dangers (Sudprasert et al., 2021). [...]
[...] Constitutional parameters such as radiation type, energy levels, geometry, and shielding affect the accuracy of the measurement. Splitting exposure sources into internal and external categories is a must. Reconstruction of retrospective doses for the events that already took place might be complicated because of the need for more data (Shinkarev, 2021). Moreover, the biological dosimetry methods that evaluate the extent of cellular injury are sophisticated and time-consuming. The correct dose distribution is a critical element in several aspects of radiation protection. [...]
