Yes, in most cases, you can be around people after radiation treatment, especially if you are receiving external beam radiation, which does not make you radioactive. However, if you have had internal radiation therapy (like brachytherapy), there may be specific guidelines to follow to limit close contact with others, particularly pregnant women and children, for a certain period. It's essential to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your treatment type and circumstances.

Why do people working around radioactive waste in a radioactive storage facility wear badges that contain strips of photographic film?

The film in the badges changes colour when radiation hits it. By looking at the badges, the people wearing them can tell how much radiation they have been exposed to. They have different strips of film for different types of radiation, so they are not only able to tell how much radiation someone has been exposed to, but also what type of radiation. Its basically a safety measure to ensure that workers are not exposed to excessive levels of radiation emitted from the waste.
