| Özet |
| The natural or artificial radiation that people are exposed to in their environment creates the natural background radiation level. Every substance existing on Earth contains even a small amount of radioactive atoms. The natural contribution to environmental radiation comes from radioactive substances present in trace amounts in the earth’s crust, inhaled air, drinking water and food, and space-borne cosmic radiation. In addition, artificial radioactive substances are used in medicine and industry, and nuclear weapon tests, leaks, and accidents in nuclear power plants also cause an increase in environmental radiation levels. Living organisms are generally continuously exposed to cosmic and other terrestrial ionizing radiation. However, exposures vary between localities due to altitude and geological characteristics. Other human activities also contribute to increased exposure to ionizing radiation. Regarding radiation protection, there are many international organizations such as the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the International Standards Organization (ISO). The first institution working on this subject was the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), which was established in Stockholm in 1928.In Turkey, this task was undertaken by the Turkish Atomic Energy Agency (TAEK), which operated between 1956 and 2020 and was established to guide Turkey’s radiation and nuclear energy policies. The Turkish Energy Nuclear and Mining Research Institute (TENMAK), which includes the … |
