This thesis focuses on European Union legislation to define basic safety standards and protect against the dangers of ionizing radiation. The protection of humans and the environment against the harmful effects of ionizing radiation from their peaceful use is ensured by radiation protection regulations. The European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) is responsible for radiation protection legislation in Europe. In Greece, a state body for radiation protection, nuclear energy and nuclear technology is the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (EEAE), which according to the legislation in force has a regulatory and regulatory role in its fields of competence. In particular, it prepares and recommends the necessary legislation in order to achieve the incorporation of the European Directives of Euratom into national law. In the framework of the thesis, a questionnaire survey was also used. The purpose of the research was to assess the level of knowledge of radiation physics, radiation protection and working practices in accordance with the radiation protection regulations of health professionals and administrative staff of Nuclear Medicine Departments of the hospitals Alexandra and NIMTS. In this thesis, a literature review of radio physics, radiobiology, radiation protection and the legislation is performed. The legislation must be followed by staff in laboratories where diagnostic or therapeutic tests are carried out using ionizing radiation. In addition, descriptive statistics, analysis of the research data are carried out and the results obtained using IBM SPSS Statistics are presented. Finally, conclusions are drawn and suggestions are made.
