säteilyturvallisuussuunnitelma

Säteilyturvallisuussuunnitelma is a Finnish term that translates to "Radiation Safety Plan". It is a crucial document required for any activity involving the use of ionizing radiation in Finland. This plan outlines the measures and procedures necessary to ensure the safety of workers, the public, and the environment from the potential hazards of radiation.

The content of a Säteilyturvallisuussuunnitelma is mandated by Finnish legislation and regulatory bodies, primarily the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK). It typically includes details on the types of radiation sources used, their intended purpose, and the potential risks associated with them. The plan must also specify the protective measures that will be implemented, such as shielding, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.

Furthermore, the Säteilyturvallisuussuunnitelma details the responsibilities of individuals involved, including radiation protection officers and any personnel who will be working with or exposed to radiation. It covers training requirements, emergency procedures in case of accidents or radiation leaks, and regular monitoring and dose assessment protocols. The plan is a living document, requiring periodic review and updates to reflect any changes in operations, equipment, or regulatory requirements. Compliance with the Säteilyturvallisuussuunnitelma is essential for obtaining and maintaining licenses for radiation practices in Finland.
