ARPANSA has also commenced an independent environmental monitoring program. The independent measurements obtained by ARPANSA are compared against the values measured by ANSTO. This is done to provide additional assurance that the results reported by ANSTO are accurate and the community and environment are protected from harmful effects of radiation.
ARPANSA staff Sandra Sdraulig and Dr Stuart Henderson recently travelled to Antarctica to support ongoing monitoring of radionuclides and ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the environment.
We’re pleased to announce that the newest location in our ultraviolet (UV) radiation monitoring network is now online. Emerald is the fourth location in Queensland to join our network of real-time UV data.
The extremity monitor measures potential extremity doses from all radiation types which contribute to Hp(07). They are typically used in the nuclear medicine industry and other industries where workers are handling radiation sources with their hands.
The neutron dosimeter measures potential occupational doses from fast neutrons, beta rays and gamma rays. They are typically used in industries that use neutron generators and neutron probes.
Our terms and conditions specify the basis of the contract between the parties, through which the Service, Associated Services and Associated Items are provided by the Commonwealth of Australia as represented by ARPANSA.
The OSL measures potential occupational doses from gamma radiation and X‑rays. They are typically used in industries such as diagnostic radiology, radiotherapy, chiropractic, veterinary, dental and nuclear medicine.
