Ionizing Radiation: is it safe to work with it? yes! Discover how IAEA experts stay protected

You cannot see ionizing radiation, but since its discovery in the turn from the 19th to the 20th century, we have learned how to embrace its advantages in energy production as well as in medical, industrial and other applications, while protecting people and the environment from its harmful effects. Learn from IAEA radiation safety and monitoring experts what ionizing radiation is, how it can be detected in everyday life, and how the IAEA safely uses ionizing radiation sources in its work and activities. At the booth you can also see how   the safety measures taken by IAEA experts are done when entering controlled environments like laboratories that deal with radioactive sources in areas such as research and development.
