The purpose is more than just eliminating radiation sources; it is about protecting people and the environment against potential harmful effects from exposure to ionizing radiation. In the past, many nuclear activities were developed without appropriate
Introduction to Radiation
nuclearsafety.gc.caTypes and Sources of Radiation . Radiation is energy in the form of waves of particles. There are two forms of radiation – non-ionizing and ionizing – which will be discussed in sections 3.1 and 3.2, respectively. 3.1 Non-ionizing radiation . Non-ionizing radiation has less energy than ionizing radiation; it does not possess enough energy ...

www.nrc.govactuality, ionizing radiation, by definition, interacts only with atoms by a process called ionization. Thus, all biological damage effects begin with the c onsequence of radiation interactions with the atoms forming the cells. As a result, radiation effects on humans proceed from the lowest to the highest levels as noted in the above list.
