The regulations in this part establish standards for protection against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under licenses issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Current Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations stipulate that therapeutic doses of ionizing radiation can only be prescribed by a physician possessing appropriate training and experience in the application of this modality.
The computerized radiation doze control system at the nuclear power plants with reactors of the RBMK-1500 type is provided with facilities monitoring radiation exposure of all components and systems of the station.

These are the flash, initial nuclear radiation, the fireball, thermal radiation, blast, radioactive fallout and electromagnetic pulse.

In 1986, many people were exposed to ionizing radiation following the nuclear power reactor accident at Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union.
Even radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear accident was carried into the Baltic where it ultimately made its way out to the North Sea and up around into the Barents.

The radiation released after the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor's core was nearly 200 times that of the combined releases from the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Issues that relate to veterans exposed to ionizing radiation during military service in the occupation of Japan at the conclusion of WWII or during the nuclear weapons tests program.

There are several types of nuclear radiation of concern: Alpha particles: These particles are hydrogen nuclei ejected from a radioactive atom.
Significant scientific benefits of access to nuclear research reactors have extended beyond radiation damage into other areas of solid state science such as crystal growth and materials characterization.
Internal Radiation: Nuclear radiation (alpha and beta particles and gamma radiation) resulting from radioactive substances in the body.

Dose Equivalent: In radiation protection associated with peacetime nuclear activities, the dose equivalent in rems is a measure of the biological effectiveness of absorbed ionizing radiation.
