Implementación de un programa de protección radiológica en el laboratorio de ensayos no destructivos, laboratorio de ensayo de materiales y mecánica de suelos y rocas, laboratorio de análisis mineralógico y difracción de rayos X y en el servicio de radiodiagnóstico odontológico de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional

Abstract

To implement a program of radiation protection in the Laboratory of Non Destructive Testing, Materials and Mechanical Testing Laboratory of Soils and Rocks, Laboratory of Mineralogical Analysis and X-ray Diffraction and in the Radiodiagnostic Service of the National Polytechnical School, first I recognized the regularization process initiated in each area, the information was drawn up in a list of review of legal compliance and the current permits for both the occupationally exposed personnel (POE), area of study, equipment, sources emitting of ionizing radiation and Service provided. To evaluate the occupational exposure in each area, we used reports of personal dosimetry of the POE and compared with the permissible limits. The measurement of environmental dosimetry, with a Geiger Müller detector, in each zone of influence of the source, with the findings established in SCAN inspection reports and current applicable legislation, I make a list of problems common to the areas of study, Prioritizing with Pareto, where it was proposed and implemented measures of prevention and control to the occupational exposure for 80% of the total noncompliance, through manuals, procedures and registries and obtained 75% of the operating licenses and 25% corresponds to the Laboratory of Mineralogical Analysis and X-ray Diffraction, which approved the inspection process carried out by SCAN and requested the issuance of the operating license to MEER in the second quarter of 2016, which proves the effectiveness of the radiological protection program.
