EXAM COVERAGE - ASNT Industrial Radiography Radiation Safety
The ASNT Industrial Radiography Radiation Safety Exam evaluates
knowledge and competency in safe use of radiation sources for non-
destructive testing (NDT) in industrial settings. Administered by the
American Society for Nondestructive Testing, the exam focuses on
radiation protection principles, regulatory compliance, and
operational safety procedures.
Key topics include radiation physics, types of radiation sources used in
industrial radiography (gamma and X-ray), and radiation detection and
monitoring techniques. Candidates are tested on dose limits, shielding,
contamination control, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
