Thousands of people in different fields, from health care to industry and air transport, work with radiation in Finland. The majority of people in such professions are exposed to very low levels of radiation. The level of exposure is often significantly lower than exposure caused by natural background radiation
Current issues
For a period of three years, a European research project led by the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority of Finland has been developing the traceability and reliability of radiation measurements used in medical X-ray imaging. Improved patient safety will be the concrete outcome of the work.
