Radiation Safety Distance Diagram

This document provides a radiation safety distance diagram for Iridium 192, a radioactive source commonly used in radiation therapy. It includes a diagram showing safety distance circles around a radiation source/projector/camera center based on the source strength in Curies. A table then defines the radius in meters for each circle for both unshielded and tungsten collimated distances, ranging from 10 to 70 Curies source strength. The document was prepared by M. Jayaseelan to guide barricade distances needed during radiation therapy treatments based on the radioactive source strength.
