Guidelines for managing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM)

Guidelines for managing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) Naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) is radioactive material found in nature due to natural sources (such as radionuclides in the uranium and thorium decay chains). Since all material found in nature contains some level of NORM, exposure to NORM is normal. 2024-02-25 Health Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Health and SafetyNaturally Occurring Radioactive MaterialNORMmanaging NORMnaturenatural sourcesradionuclidesuraniumthorium decay chainsexposure to NORM Guidelines for managing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM)HTML https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/health-risks-safety/radiation/occupational-exposure-regulations/guidelines-managing-naturally-occurring-radioactive-material.html Guidelines for managing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM)HTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-canada/services/securite-et-risque-pour-sante/radiation/exposition-professionelle-reglementation/lignes-directrices-gestion-matieres-radioactives-naturelles.html
