What is a device that uses a superheated liquid to detect radioactive particles?
bubble chamber. sources: Physical Science book, A in Chemistry Honors, Other sources.
What does radioactive pollution do?
We can identify sources that lead to radioactive pollution to the following: * the use of depleted uranium in kinetic weapons * natural sources (radon from granite) * drywall * coal burning * uranium mining * lost or stolen radioactive sources from industry or medical facilities * nuclear weapon * transportation * disposal of nuclear waste * nuclear power plants The impact of radiation on human life is in addition to the immediately poisonous nature of some radioactive materials: * Carcinogenicsis (causes cancers) * Mutigenesis (causes non cancerous changed at the cellular level) * Teratogenisis (causes changes to fetal development)
What are the uses of each 5 radioactive elements?
- sources of energy - sources of penetrant radiations - smoke detectors - uses in medicine - uses as radioactive tracers - uses in radioactive dating of rocks
Did you have a drawing to make a bunker for radioactive sources?
By Common Agreement between Nation States most radio active sources are stored in secure storage with little if any information released to the public
What are sources of nuclear energy?
the sources of nuclear energy is a rod that is very radioactive and water
What are 3 sources of heat?
solar, primordial, radioactive
What are other uses for nuclear energy?
Apart from producing electricity, nuclear reactors are used to produce radioactive isotopes for medical and industrial purposes. Such reactors are built on a small scale and don't produce electricity, but they have facilities for introducing material samples which are then irradiated to produce the desired end results. In medicine radioactive materials are used for both diagnosis and treatment particularly of cancer. In industry high power gamma sources are used to examine welds for cracks. Such sources have to be carefully handled in shielded containers.
What is elint?
intelligence derived from electromagnetic radiations from foreign sources (other than radioactive sources)
Example of radioactive waste?
alpha particles, beta particles, gamma radiation
What are some sources of radioactive wastes?
The main sources are:nuclear fuel cycle facilities (mining, milling, conversion, enrichment, fabrication, nuclear reactors, and reprocessing facilities)hospitals and medical treatment facilities using radioactive sources
How did scientists find out to use americium 241 in smoke detectors?
A radioactive source was needed for ions to get trapped by the smoke particles and conduct less of an electric field. Several sources were tried before Americium was settled upon.
The scientific calculation of the radiation emitted from various radioactive sources is?
Dosimetry
