Radiation protection is the science and practice of protecting people and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. This includes the development and implementation of safety measures, regulations, and procedures to minimize exposure to radiation in various settings, such as medical facilities, nuclear power plants, and industrial workplaces. The primary goal of radiation protection is to prevent radiation-induced injuries, illnesses, and genetic mutations while still allowing for the beneficial uses of radiation in medicine, industry, and research. This field involves a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates principles of physics, biology, medicine, and engineering to ensure that radiation exposure is kept at safe levels for both workers and the public.
