description This paper verifies the fulfilment that the dose rates in the surroundings of an installation that operates radioisotopes for industrial use with activities of at least 50 Ci. If it also meets the requirements established by the International Protocols for Radiation Protection for workers and public in general. In this particular case, it was validated the installation of nuclear radiations labs at Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia. The procedure was based in the construction of the geometry of the installation code MCNPX, detectors were placed at various points within and outside the installation, which allowed calculating photon fluency that cross the different containment barriers designed for this purpose. Using the respective conversion factors established by the International Commission of Radiological Protection (ICRP-74, 1997) for fluency conversion to dose which were achieved through calculating the different dose rates at these points, which were compared with experimental measurements. The results confirm that the installation meets the requirements for radiation protection and the most importantly fact is that some prevention tips were recommended.

También se verifica si cumple con los requisitos exigidos por los protocolos internacionales para la protección radiológica de trabajadores y público en general. En este caso se validó la instalación del Laboratorio de Radiaciones Nucleares de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia. El procedimiento consistió en construir la geometría de la instalación siguiendo las dimensiones y materiales usados en la construcción mediante levantamiento topográfico. Haciendo uso del código de simulación MCNPX, se ubicaron detectores en diversos puntos dentro y fuera de la instalación, los que permitieron calcular la fluencia de fotones que atravesaba las diferentes barreras de contención diseñadas para este propósito. Usando los respectivos coeficientes de conversión establecidos por la comisión Internacional de Protección Radiológica (ICRP-74, 1997), para la conversión de fluencia a dosis, se consiguió calcular las diferentes tasas de dosis en dichos puntos, las que fueron comparadas con mediciones experimentales. Los resultados encontrados corroboran que la instalación cumple con los requisitos en cuanto a protección radiológica y lo mas importante, sugieren algunas recomendaciones de tipo preventivo.application/pdfspaspaUniversidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombiahttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/investigacion_duitama/article/view/2166/2110Derechos de autor 2013 REVISTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN DESARROLLO E INNOVACIÓNhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf225http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Revista de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación; Vol. 3 No. 2 (2013): January-June; 120-124Revista de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación; Vol. 3 Núm. 2 (2013): Enero-Junio; 120-1242389-94172027-8306dose rateradiation protectionindustrial radiography.tasa de dosisprotección radiológicaradiografía industrial.Radiation protection to workers and public in general, in installations that use industrial radioisotopesProtección radiológica a trabajadores y público en instalaciones que operan radioisotopos industrialesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6724http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a308http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Ovalle, Segundo Agustín MartínezCaballero, Faustino ReyesPuin, Laura Ximena González001/10175oai:repositorio.uptc.edu.co:001/101752025-07-18 11:51:36.563metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uptc.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UPTCrepositorio.uptc@uptc.edu.co
