Abstract
  • Integrity is the act of being straightforward and showing a reliable and firm adherence to solid moral and moral standards and values. Integrity can remain contrary to hypocrisy, in that deciding with the guidelines of trustworthiness includes seeing interior consistency as excellent and recommends that gatherings holding inside themselves clashing qualities should represent the disparity or change their convictions. Currently, the constant development and implementation of nuclear energy in recent years have presented significant challenges to radioprotection. Furthermore, the threat of local nuclear war and nuclear in industries is growing, necessitating new medical safeguards. Irradiation causes serious harm to the human body, so radiation protection officers are necessitated for medical protection. This review will provide integrity management in radiation protection.
