The applications of ionizing and non-
                ionizing radiation in different fields are beneficial,
        and in some cases unique. However, carelessness in applying  
   safety   rules   can  be  disastrous  for  workers,  the public,   the environment, and even future generations.
The application of radioactive materials and  radiogenic  devices in different  fields   is justifiable, only if an authorized and scientifically capable  organization  regulates  the procedures,  establishes rules, regulations   and   instructions,  and  devises   radiation  protection standards  for  supervision  and   control at all levels of distribution, application, and waste management.
The   general   policies  of   the   National    Radiation    Protection Department are:  Implementing  radiation   protection   regulations, approved  by  the  Parliament,  in all centers dealing with radiation; supervision, control  and  quality  assurance  of  the  proper use of radiation  and   finally ,   prevention  of  hazardous  effects  on   the environment  and  human health.  In this  regard, it has always been
the goal of the researchers and experts at  the Radiation Protection Department, to safeguard workers, the public, the environment and future    generations     against  the  harmful   effects   of    radiation. Also the experts at this Dept.
are  in   the process  of
establishing         a
