Answer to Question #1099 Submitted to "Ask the Experts"Category: Policy, Guidelines, and Regulations The following question was answered by an expert in the appropriate field: Q
Would you show me the radiation warning symbol which is in normal use nowadays.
A
The standard radiation symbol, as used by those in the regulated
community, and prescribed by Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 20 (10 CFR 20), uses the colors magenta or purple or black on a
yellow background. The symbol required by these regulations is a
three-bladed (tricorn) design, as illustrated on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) website.
As illustrated on this design, the cross-hatched area is to be magenta
or purple or black and the background is required to be yellow.
More information about the use of this radiation symbol can be found on the NRC home page and information about 10 CFR 20 can be found on another part of the NRC website. Cynthia Jones
