What are the best methods of radiation protection?
The best way to protect yourself is to know the sources in your environment and limit contact with them. Purging basements and enclosed spaces of radon, a radioactive gas and purging and filtering well water from aquifers containing radioactive salts and dissolved radon gas is important. Other natural and man made sources of nuclear radiation are listed in the tutorial elsewhere on this Web site. Knowledge of local nuclear power plants and research facilities as well as early warning devices such as the Model 500 RadScanner can aid in a quick evacuation before the official alert leads to highway gridlock.
