In order to increase the supervision role in radiation safety assurance for patients, BAPETEN through the Center of Radiation Facilities and Radioactive Sources Regulatory Assessment (P2STPFRZR) held a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) regarding unnecessary/unintended exposure control and prevention in Solo, Central Java on 11th July 2019 by inviting several hospital representatives in Solo and surrounding areas.

The FGD was conducted to gather the information and data from several hospital experiences related to efforts in controlling and preventing unnecessary exposure in its facilities, both nuclear medicine facility, radiotherapy, even though radio diagnostic and interventional facilities. The collected information and data will be processed and formulated into a guidebook with the title of the Unintended Exposure Control and Prevention Technical Manual for patients, which is expected to be effective and able to apply to the Hospital in preventing and minimizing the situation of unnecessary/unintended exposure to patients.
In this FGD, the event was opened by the Head of P2STPFRZR, Djoko Hari Nugroho.
