Description
The technological applications of radioactive isotopes and radiation in South Africa have grown steadily since the first consignment of man-made radioisotopes reached this country in 1948. By the end of 1975 there were 412 authorised non-medical organisations (327 industries) using hundreds of sealed sources as well as their fair share of the thousands of radioisotope consignments, annually either imported or produced locally (mainly for medical purposes). Consequently, it is necessary for South African technologists to understand the principles of radioactivity in order to appreciate the industrial applications of nuclear techniques
Abstract (Afrikaans)
Die tegnologiese aanwendings van radioaktiewe isotope en straling in Suid-Afrika het geleidelik toegeneem sedert die eerste besending kunsmatige radioisotope in 1948 ingevoer is. Teen die einde van 1975 was daar 412 gemagtigde nie-mediese organisasies (327 nywerhede) wat honderde geseelde bronne gebruik, asook hul billike deel van die duisende besendings radioisotope wat jaarliks ingevoer of geproduseer word (hoofsaaklik vir mediese doeleindes). Dit is derhalwe noodsaaklik dat Suid-Afrikaanse tegnoloe die beginsels van radioaktiwiteit moet verstaan om sodoende daartoe te kan bydra dat die aanwending van kerntegnieke in die nywerheid inslag vindFiles
