Response of Photon Dosimeters and Survey Instruments to New Operational Quantities Proposed by ICRU RC26 [PDF]
Journal of Instrumentation, Volume 14, January 2019, 2018 Operational quantities in radiation protection are defined as conservative estimates of the protection quantities, which are generally not accessible to measurement. Radiation protection dosimeters and monitors are calibrated in the operational quantities.

Using ACIS on the Chandra X-ray Observatory as a particle radiation monitor [PDF]
, 2010 The Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) is one of two focal-plane instruments on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. During initial radiation-belt passes, the exposed ACIS suffered significant radiation damage from trapped soft protons scattering off the x-ray telescope's mirrors.

Radiation Risks and Mitigation in Electronic Systems [PDF]
CERN Yellow Report CERN-2015-003, pp.245-263, 2016 Electrical and electronic systems can be disturbed by radiation-induced effects. In some cases, radiation-induced effects are of a low probability and can be ignored; however, radiation effects must be considered when designing systems that have a high mean time to failure requirement, an impact on protection, and/or higher exposure to radiation.

High-Intensity Synchrotron Radiation Effects [PDF]
CERN Yellow Report CERN-2016-002, pp.63-82, 2016 Various effects of intense synchrotron radiation on the performance of particle accelerators, especially for storage rings, are discussed. Following a brief introduction to synchrotron radiation, the basic concepts of heat load, gas load, electron emission, and the countermeasures against these effects are discussed.

Using ACIS on the Chandra X-ray Observatory as a particle radiation monitor II [PDF]
, 2012 The Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer is an instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. CCDs are vulnerable to radiation damage, particularly by soft protons in the radiation belts and solar storms. The Chandra team has implemented procedures to protect ACIS during high-radiation events including autonomous protection triggered by an on-board ...

Radiation protection and standardization [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2019 X - Rays has become integral and indispensable part of health care diagnosis and intervention. Intervention procedures in Orthopedics surgery now mostly performed under image intensifiers (C-Arm) which involve the risks of occupational overexposure of radiation to the patients and health care personnel.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1961 The biological effects of radiation are reviewed and sources of radiation exposure are surveyed. It is pointed out that varying needs make it desirable that different standards of protection be applied to patients, workers using ionizing radiation, and the general public. Permissible radiation exposure levels for each group are tabulated. Various means
