"while nuclear reactors operate within closed systems with multiple barriers which keep the radioactive materials contained. Rooms have a reduced air pressure so that any leaks occur into the room and not out of it" they use a special system of air to pressurize the radiation keeping it in and not out ~~https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/radiation/protects-you/protection-principles.html~~

"Radioactive materials are confined in the smallest possible space and kept out of the environment. Radioactive isotopes for medical use, for example, are dispensed in closed handling facilities" most places with the use of radiation are located in confined areas.

Here are some regulations used in some nuclear plants to help minimize risk of exposure

Dose limits for radiation workers and members of the public
Monitoring and labeling radioactive materials
Posting signs in and around radiation areas
Reporting the theft or loss of radioactive material

they're caused by the failure of technical components, by human error or by natural disasters

solution

A solution is to try and predict the weather or be highly aware of storms. With the new technologies we have developed of today would have no problem.

Another way to reduce exposure to radiation or stopping the spread is by using more Lead or lead equivalent shielding for X-rays and gamma rays is an effective way to reduce radiation exposure.

although exposure to ionizing radiation carries risk, it is impossible to completely avoid exposure.

workers should be more cautious and should have a certain degree to use radiation or be qualified to work at a nuclear plant
