𝐆𝐑𝐔𝐏𝐎 𝐈𝐒𝐐 | A Day’s Work at ISQ 👉 Louis Branco, a Radiation Protection Expert at ISQ recognized by the national competent authority, ensures on a daily basis that the use of ionizing radiation is carried out rigorously, safely and in accordance with regulations. 🙌 Ionizing radiation is a type of radiation with enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules, creating ions. It is this ability to “ionize“ that makes it so useful and also so demanding from a health and safety perspective. 💪 His duties include optimizing radiation protection in accordance with the ALARA principle – that is, reducing radiation exposure to the lowest level reasonably achievable without compromising the objective of the procedure or operation. 👏 He plans new facilities, assesses radiological risks, classifies workers and workplaces, trains operators, calculates, verifies and advises on radiation shielding, monitors exposures, manages radioactive waste and disused sources, and prepares and trains emergency response plans. 🤝 This work reinforces the culture of radiological and nuclear safety that ISQ promotes in all areas where ionizing radiation is present, ensuring that the exposure of workers, the public and the environment remains within regulatory limits.
