Radiological incidents refer to events that involve the release of radioactive materials, which can pose risks to human health and the environment. These incidents can occur in various settings, including nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and during the transportation of radioactive substances. Common causes include equipment failure, human error, or natural disasters. The impact of radiological incidents can vary widely, from minor exposure to significant contamination. Emergency response teams, such as hazardous materials units and radiation safety officers, are trained to manage these situations, ensuring public safety and minimizing environmental damage. Proper protocols and monitoring systems are essential to prevent and respond to such incidents effectively.
