What is the consequence of failing to control contamination spread?

Failing to control contamination spread can lead to a greater risk of radiation exposure. In a nuclear facility, managing contamination is critical to ensure the safety of both employees and the surrounding environment. If contamination is not effectively controlled, radioactive materials can disperse and increase the likelihood that personnel will be exposed to harmful radiation. This exposure not only poses immediate health risks but can also lead to long-term health consequences, further complicating safety measures and protocols within the facility. Therefore, maintaining strict control over contamination is essential in minimizing these risks and ensuring a safe working environment.
