Shouldn't Happen to a RPA

By popular demand (!) this series returns after a year off. The 'Shouldn't Happen to a RPA' series first appeared on our old website and was designed to provide a light hearted look at a number of radiation protection related issues - as told by the RPA. New and old articles will appear over the coming months. Click here for list of articles >>

Technical Compliance Articles

In this set of articles we look at particular areas of the technical compliance, particularly relating to primary UK radiation protection legislation such as the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 and Radioactive Substances Act 1993. We focus on areas of misconception and confusion and try to explain the facts for the benefit of visitors and clients. The information contained in these articles is not to be treated as official advice and you should consider consulting a suitable Radiation Protection Adviser if you are unsure of their applicability.
