Abstract

The effort to ensure radiation safety guarantees for officers and the general public on the use of fluoroscopy baggage scanner is used at the port passenger terminal due to using ionizing radiation. The aim to be achieved is to find out the management of the use of ionizing radiation and related radiation protection according to national and international standards. The research method in this study was an observational survey by observing, interviewing and documenting safety facilities and procedures by performing management for operating fluoroscopy baggage scanner devices at the Port. Based on the results of this study: no operational license for fluoroscopy baggage scanner, radiation workers operator didn’t certify, they don’t have personal monitoring dose, they get health monitoring but not well documented, radiation testing has not been carried out for radiation workers and passengers. Radiation exposure measurements using surveymeter detected both for passengers and radiation workers around the fluoroscopy baggage scanner device was declared safe because the radiation exposure rate detected was below 1 µSv/h (FDA), PP No. 33 of 2007, Perka Bapeten No. 7 of 2009 and Perka Bapeten No. 4 of 2013. But it can be optimized by lead glass or lead apron.
