Njerwa zotsogola
Mthovu ndi chinthu chofunikira kwambiri chifukwa cha kuthekera kwake kusiyanitsa cheza chowopsa cha ionizing. Njerwa zotsogola zimagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati zida zotetezera kutsogolo kwa makoma a 50 mm ndi 100 mm m'mafakitale a nyukiliya, zamankhwala ndi uinjiniya.
Njerwa zotsogola kwenikweni ndi njerwa yamakona anayi yokhala ndi luso lolumikizana. Amagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka pomanga makoma oteteza komwe ma radiation amatha kuchitika. Njerwa yotsogolera ndi njira yabwino yotetezera kwakanthawi kapena kokhazikika kapena kusungirako. Njerwa zotsogola zimasanjidwa mosavuta, kukulitsidwa ndi kutumizidwanso kuti zipereke chitetezo chokwanira. Njerwa zotsogola zimapangidwa ndi chitsogozo chabwino kwambiri, zimakhala ndi kuuma kokhazikika komanso kosalala ndipo zimatha kuyikidwa bwino ngakhale pamakona akumanja.
Njerwa zotsogola zimapereka chitetezo cha radiation kwa ma laboratories ndi malo ogwirira ntchito (misonkhano yapakhoma). Mipiringidzo yolowerana yolumikizira imapangitsa kukhala kosavuta kuyimitsa, kusintha ndikuyikanso makoma oteteza ndi zipinda zotchingira za kukula kulikonse.
