Why do people exposed to radiation regularly need to wear radiation badges?
The radiation badges tell you how much radiation you have been exposed to so you know when you have been exposed to enough (before it becomes dangerous) and you can stop work in that area until you are able to be exposed to radiation again. They sometimes wear lead aprons to protect themselves from radiation. I think this is right but you had better check again somewhere else because it might not be right.
What does irradiated mean?
Means something has been exposed to radiation.
Is a person who has been exposed to external radiation by definition radioactive?
No.
What can you do to protect your body from all types of radiation?
Don't break anything. Because when get a X-rays you have been exposed to radiation
What places have been exposed to radiation?
Los AlamosHiroshimaNagasakiChernobylThat nuclear power plant in Japan
Can exposure to radiation from working in nuclear power cause parkinsons disease?
Radiation has been known to cause neurological disorders. Parkinsons disease is therefore a risk of being developed in certain people who are exposed to the radiation. This applies to those who are exposed to the radiation more than others.
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.
When do you encounter radiation energy?
Whenever your exposed to radiation...
What is the proper way to get an average of doses radiation?
I guess you are talking about how much radiation you can absorb in a given time. usually you express this in term of dose, that is how much time you have been exposed to a specific radiation. so, you just add the doses you have been exposed to. if you reach 1mSv/year for work reasons and you aren't part of a special team, you should start to worry about this. If you are a worker which is occupationally exposed to radiation, you should not reach the 20mSv/year threshold.
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
False. We are often exposed to low dose radiation.
How do radiation technicians know when they have been over exposed by radiation?
Radiation personnel wear a small badge containing a film which darkens upon exposure to radiation. These are regularly screened to determine if a dangerous exposure has taken place.
Is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light?
is a type of chemical when exposed to radiation emits visible light.
