📊 Radiation Safety: Irradiation and Contamination

Two people in white protective suits and blue gloves. Irradiation: a person stands near a sealed metal source container and wavy arrows travel from the source to the person. Contamination: a person has red dots all over their suit, showing radioactive material on them.

Figure 1: Irradiation exposes you to radiation from outside; contamination means the radioactive material is on or in you. The source container stays outside the body. The dots show radioactive material on the person.
