• Separation of activity and dilution of concentration

 The safest way to work with radiation source is to use the optimum

amount or quantity. Radionuclides are not cheap and a posed radiation
risk when used in excess.

 Lower activity means lower doses. If spillage and contamination occur,

then the cleaning up process will only involve low activity and
concentration.

 It is important to follow the recommendations of supplier on the need

to separate and dilute the radionuclides.
