Radiation Application in Industrial
Sectors
Sector Application
Agriculture Gauging the thickness of of eggshells to screen
out thin, breakable eggs before they are
packaged in egg cartons
Safety Glow-in-the-dark safety signs
Ionizing Smoke detectors
Metallurgy Use of X-rays to find otherwise imperceptible
defects in metallic castings and welds
Non-destructive Testing (NDT) Test materials, products, structures or buildings
without altering their properties or affecting their
usefulness

This graph of comparative density, made using gamma ray imaging (a technique known as gammadensimetry), shows
the areas of weakness (knots in the wood, beginnings of branches) in a plank. 7

ICSD - Health Risks
• Ionizing smoke detectors pose no health risks as long as they are not
tampered with and used as directed
• Exposure to Am-241 is possible following a nuclear reactor meltdown
or nuclear test.
• Potential of significant health risks if inhaled or swallowed
• Targets bone, liver, and muscle

Approved Dosage as per Application
Application Dosage
Insect control 150-700 Gy
Reduce numbers of Salmonella, Campylobacter and other food 3 kGy (fresh) and up to 7 kGy
poisoning bacteria in Poultry-related products (frozen)
Reduce numbers of E.coli O157:H7 and other food poisoning 4.5 kGy (fresh) and up to 7
bacteria in red meat kGy (frozen)
Reduce levels of contaminating microorganisms generally and to up to 10 kGy
reduce or eliminate food poisoning bacteria
Reduce the numbers of microorganisms, particularly those that up to 2 kGy
cause spoilage in certain fruits and vegetables
Bulbs and tubers, such as potatoes and onions less than 1 kGy
kill insects in Cereals, grains and certain fruits 1 kGy

NDT (???)
The use of noninvasive techniques to determine the integrity of
a material, component or structure or quantitatively measure
some characteristic of an object.
23
Why NDT (???)
24
Five Most Common NDT Methods
Detection of surface flaws
• Visual
• Liquid Penetrant
• Magnetic
Detection of internal flaws
• Ultrasonic
• Radiography
