CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME TRANSPARENT POLYMER FILMS AND ITS APPLICATION IN SOLAR ENERGY CONVERSION

Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) exist in the formation water with different concentrations depending on the composition of surrounding formations, depth, pressure and temperature. The reservoir rock from which oil is produced contains smaThe Atomic Energy Act and Radiation Protection Ordinance regulate the radiation control of TE-NORM in non-nuclear industries. In this work the radiation protection program (RPP) designed for some typical oil fields in Egypt is presented.Monitoring and assessment of this program was discussed in view of the Egyptian regulation of TE-NORM (AEA, PET- 1, 1999).The mechanism of scale and sludge formations on the inner surface of the processing equipment in both Off and On Shore facilities were assessed for their radioactive content. The specific activities of the measured samples were based on Ra-226, Pb-214 andThe functional elements of the RPP define three categories of the controlled facilities according to dose assessment and personnel exposure.Illustrative examples were carried out to assist operators in identifying the minimum requirements to be addressed within a RPP for a typical oil production sites.In particular, an overview of the implementation of the applicable regulation is discussed. It was found that the RPP in some typical oil and gas production fields accomplish their goals and the resultant annual dose to workers in different areas of produ
