Radiation safety continues to be an issue of social concern for many nations. The topic has recently been under discussion at the 25th National Radiological Emergency Preparedness (NREP) Conference 2015, which took place in Sacramento, California at the end of April.

One of the basic principles of radiation protection is that every radiation dose should always be kept at a safe level. Modern radiation detection and measurement devices allow the monitoring of radiation levels as precisely and quickly as possible, thus reducing the risk of radiation exposure to the community and the environment.
