skos:definition "The 'protection' of people against 'exposure' to 'ionizing radiation' or <br/>
'radioactive materials' and the 'safety' of 'radiation' 'sources', including the means for <br/>achieving this, and the means for preventing 'accidents' and for mitigating the <br/>consequences of 'accidents' should they occur. (From Ref. [1].)<br/>
'Safety' is primarily concerned with maintaining 'control' over 'sources', whereas <br/>'(radiation) protection' is primarily concerned with controlling 'exposure' to <br/>'radiation' and its effects. Clearly the two are closely connected: <i>radiation <br/>protection</i> (or 'radiological protection') is very much simpler if the 'source' in <br/>question is under 'control', so 'safety' necessarily contributes towards 'protection'. <br/>'Sources' come in many different types, and hence 'safety' may be termed <br/>'nuclear safety',' radiation safety', 'radioactive waste safety' or 'transport' 'safety', but <br/>'protection' (in this sense) is primarily concerned with protecting humans <br/>against 'exposure', whatever the 'source', and so is always 'radiation protection'.<br/>" (en)
