Shielding :
Operators view the target through a leaded glass screen, or if they must remain in the same room as the target, wear lead aprons. Almost any material can act as a shield from gamma or x-rays if used in sufficient amounts .

There are three factors that control There are three factors that control the amount, or dose sourcethe amount, or dose source . .
-Time-Time: Reducing the time : Reducing the time of an exposure reduces the of an exposure reduces the effective dose . effective dose .
An example of reducing An example of reducing radiation doses by radiation doses by reducing the time of reducing the time of exposures might be exposures might be improving operator improving operator training to reduce the time training to reduce the time they take to handle a they take to handle a

-- Distance Distance: : Increasing distance Increasing distance reduces dose due reduces dose due to the inverse to the inverse square law. square law. Distance can be as Distance can be as simple as handling simple as handling a source with a source with forceps rather than forceps rather than fingers. fingers.
