Sanitary Gateway in Radiation Hygiene

A sanitary gateway in radiation hygiene is a complex of premises and sanitary equipment, which is located between production zones with different levels of contamination with radioactive substances. The main task of the sanitary gateway complex is to prevent the spread of radioactive contamination of air and surfaces.

In the sanitary gateway complex, staff wear additional personal protective equipment before entering a high-contamination area, remove it before leaving the area, and sanitize their hands and, if necessary, the entire body. In some cases, a sanitary airlock complex can be used to disinfect personnel clothing and other items that may be contaminated with radioactive substances.

The sanitary gateway is one of the main elements of radiation hygiene, which helps prevent the spread of radioactive contamination in the environment and ensure the safety of personnel working in areas with high levels of radioactive contamination.

Sanitary gateway: an important component of radiation hygiene

A sanitary gateway is a complex of premises and sanitary and technical devices, which is located between zones where people with different levels of radiation contamination work. Its purpose is to prevent the spread of radioactive contamination on surfaces and in the air through sanitary treatment of personnel and additional protective equipment. This complex is an important component in the radiation safety of workers and environmental protection.

Thus, the sanitary airlock plays an important role in ensuring radiation hygiene, as it helps prevent the transfer of radioactive contaminants into the air and onto surfaces, which can then affect the environment, human health and the operation of equipment. In addition, sanitary locks serve as a necessary precaution in the event of an accident or release of radioactive substances.

Quarantine gateways ensure not only cleaning of personnel, but also protection of the environment.
