Every type of radiation is harmful for the occupational workers, patients and also for the environment. Among of these, ionizing radiation is more mischievous. So it is essential to monitor the radiation level to ensure the health and safety of the occupational workers, general public and also to protect the environment from the harmful effect of ionizing radiation. In medical sector, ionizing radiation is used for diagnosing and treating various diseases. For this purpose, a radiation survey has been performed during a period of eight months with a view to establishing the ambient radiation level in the area of Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied sciences (INMAS) at Khulna Medical College Hospital, Khulna. Survey meter is used for monitoring the radiation level at different location in INMAS, Khulna. We have obtained the result 0.8 mSv in many locations and 8 mSv in one location not crossing 20 mSv which is within the acceptable limit. It is concluded that there is no (or less) possibility of radiation hazard in the INMAS, Khulna.
