Description
Objective: To evaluate the radiation effects to the surrounding environment and the radiation workers and the public in the micro PET Center. Methods: By the surrounding pathway radiation level the on-site monitoring centers the main radioactive sources of pollution and contamination pathway were analyzed. Results: In the operational process of the micro-PET center, the radiation dose to the radiation workers and the public is 0.31 mSv/a and 0.1 mSv/a, causing some radiation to the surrounding environment. Conclusion: The impact of the micro-PET project on the environment, the public, the radiation workers is in comformity with the relevant provisions. The radioactive waste by effective treatment can meet the requirements standards to discharge. (authors)
