Description

Beta particles are one of the major contributors toward skin and eye lens doses at facilities handling beta sources. These sources find applications in industry, pharmaceuticals as well as in brachytherapy applications. The beta particles having maximum (Emax) energy > 0.07 MeV are capable of delivering skin dose whereas beta particles having maximum (Emax) energy > 0.7 MeV may also contribute towards dose to eye lens. Studies are performed using 32P beta source as its maximum beta energy (Emax) is such that for sources having (Emax) of 1.71 MeV or beyond, there can be substantial contribution towards dose to eye lens even the dose limit recommended for skin is followed
