The paper deals with the classification of radioactive sources taking into account their impact on persons who may be exposed in case of radiological incidents, accidents or other emergency situations including the use of a radiological dispersive device. The quantification of the sources, which, in general, belong to one of the category of dangerous substances, is based on relevant international recommendations with special emphasis on the documents of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Keywords: classification of radionuclides, dangerous substances, radiation exposure, radiotoxicity
