Radiation and Pregnancy: A Decision to Declare
RPDD Radiological Training Services Based
on the NRC's Regulatory Guide 8.13, this video program looks at the potential
effects of occupational radiation exposure to the pregnant worker's embryo/fetus.
Beginning with a summary of genetics, this training videotape discusses the
effects of radiation exposure on the embryo/fetus and the requirements for declaring
the pregnancy to initiate the 500 millirem (5 millisieverts) fetal limit for
the duration of the gestation period.
Paralleling an overview of genetics and radiation protection, this video
looks at the significant changes that have taken place in both fields in the
last century. From Thomas Morgan and his fruit flies to HJ Muller and genetic
mutations caused by radiation to Watson, Crick and Franklin and the discovery
of the structure of DNA, a brief history of genetics serves the viewer well.
While these advances on the genetic front were taking place, equally important
advances in the understanding of radiation and radioactivity were taking place.
Roentgen and the discovery x-rays, the first radiation protection recommendations,
the standardization of measurements, the skin erythema dose, and the conclusion
that the embryo/fetus of a pregnant radiation worker should be treated as
a "visitor."
This video is intended for all female radiation workers of child bearing
age and their supervisors. $395.00 Add

Radiation Risks Revisited
RRR Radiological Training Services Based
on the NRC's Regulatory Guide 8.29 This video program reviews the risks associated
with occupational radiation exposure. Cancer risk estimates and the linear
no-threshold controversy are highlighted. This video will help workers make
an informed decision about their radiation exposure risk.
The video starts with a look at common terms used to categorize possible
health effects of radiation exposure.
- Somatic Effects - Occur in the in the individual can either be prompt
or delayed
- Prompt Effects -Occur within hour or days of exposure to very high radiation
doses
- Delayed Effects - Occur years after the exposure
- Genetic Effects - May occur in future children of exposed individuals
or succeeding generations
- Teratogenic Effects - Risks of radiation exposure to the embryo/fetus
(Discussed briefly in this video and is explained in detail in Radiation
and Pregnancy: A Decision to Declare)
Other key concepts discussed:
- Internal vs External Exposure
- Derived Air Concentration
- Annual Limit on Intake
- Background Radiation Occupational
- Dose Limits
- Linear, No-Threshold Model
- Occupational Exposure Risks vs Everyday Risks Planned Special Exposures
This video is designed for all prospective and current occupational radiation
workers. It is an ideal way to convey to your workers their occupational radiation
exposure risk. $395.00 Add to

Radiation Safety and Common Sense
RSCS Radiological Training Services This
video program explains the underlying concepts of radiation safety in everyday,
non-technical language. Easy to understand analogies with situations we encounter
in everyday life are used to explain the radiation safety story. For example,
everyone is familiar with the characteristics of perfume, but few think of
it in terms of contamination and irradiation. The simple and fimiliar things
we know can help us gain a common sense understanding of new concepts and
situations.
Topics discussed include:
- Energy as particles and rays
- Background Radiation
- Irradiation vs. Contamination
- Time, Distance and Shielding
- Risks Associated with Typical Occupational Exposures
This video is intended for workers who do not require an extensive radiation
protection program, but who need an understanding of the principles of radiation
safety. $395.00 Add to Cart
Radiation Protection Standards
RPS Radiological Training Services Based
on the 10CFR20, Standards for Protection Against Radiation, these radiation
safety regulations affect all users of radioactive materials and radiation
sources in the U.S. This video highlights the major changes that were
made in the 10CFR20 in 1991. While these changes are no longer new, the information
presented is still applicable to all users of radioactive materials in the
United States.
Topics discussed include:
- Dose Equivalent
- Absorbed Dose x Quality Factor
- Committed Dose Equivalent
- Ingested or inhaled radioactive materials
- Committed Effective Dose Equivalent
- Summation of internal Dose Equivalent and External Dose Equivalent
- Total Effective Dose Equivalent
- Summation of CEDE and Deep Dose Equivalent from external exposures
- Occupational dose limits for
- Dose limits for:
- Embryo/Fetus
- General Public
- Weighting Factors
- Annual Limit on Intake
- Derived Air Concentrations
- External Exposures
- Deep Dose Equivalent
- Shallow Dose Equivalent
- Eye Dose Equivalent
- Planned Special Exposures
- Work Areas and limits within areas
- Unrestricted Area
- Controlled Area
- Radiation Area
- High Radiation Area
- Very High Radiation Area
- Airborne Radioactivity Area
- Surveying and Monitoring
- Handling and Storage of radioactive materials
- Record Keeping and Reporting
This video program explains the radiation safety regulations to current and
prospective radiation workers. $395.00 Add

Hospital Radiation Protection Practices
HRPP Radiological Training Services This
one hour video program is designed to help the Radiation Safety Officer:
- Conduct annual refresher training for technologists
- Provide new employee radiation protection orientation
- Teach regularly scheduled continuing education sessions for nurses and
others who work with brachytherapy patients or patients who receive radiopharmaceuticals
The first portion of the program is based on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission's sample lecture outlines in NUREG-1134. Topics discussed include:
- A brief history of the medical uses of radiation sources
- Levels of background radiation, including radon
- An overview of typical sources of ionizing radiation and techniques that
help reduce radiation exposures
- Information on biological effects of radiation and its risks at typica
loccupational levels
- Management's commitment to safety and the RSO's role as a source of information,
services and assistance to help employees keep their exposures ALARA
In addition, specific segments are provided on:
- Teletherapy
- Brachytherapy
- Nuclear Medicine
- Iodine 131 Therapy
In each of these sections, the focus is on the radiation protection safety
procedures of the NRC requirements dealing with the medical use of byproduct
material. Provides general hospital employees with a basic understanding of
radiation. $395.00 Add to Cart
Fundamentals of Radiation Safety
FRS Radiological Training Services .An
introductory training videotape on the nature and characteristics of ionizing
radiation and the methods and techniques used to keep radiation doses to individuals
as low as reasonably achievable and to minimize the potential for accidental
exposures. Topics included in the discussion are:
- The nature and characteristics of ionizing radiation
- Radioactivity and half-life
- Natural and man-made sources of radiation
- Radiation quantities and units
- Internal and external exposures
- Irradiation and contamination
- Use of time, distance, and shielding
- Radiation monitoring
- Contamination control
This videotape is ideal for training individuals whose potential for exposure
is such that an extensive radiation safety training program is not required.
However, additional training will be required regarding the potential radiation
hazards associated with the work, the employer's radiation safety program,
and the necessary job related skills. $395.00
