Radiation Safety Distance

The document provides radiation safety distances in meters for various levels of radioactive Iridium-192 (Ir-192) measured in Curies, with and without a collimator. It gives the maximum safe radiation exposure levels for radiation workers and the public, and calculates the minimum safe distances to stay below these exposure levels. Distances range from about 8-60 meters for radiation workers and 20-300 meters for public safety, depending on the level of Ir-192 and use of collimator.
