At the time of the survey, this study is provided as a guide to the safe handling radionuclides. It will prove helpful all users. The basic objective of radiation safety technique and national standardization of safe handling radioactive materials are to keep the radiation dose to man as low as are under any regulation within the annual dose limits recommended by Most. Further routine monitoring of I-131 high dose therapy ward was carried out the effectiveness of safety precautions taken to prevent undue release of I-131 to the environment
