What is sealed and unsealed radioactive source?
sealed radioactive source means the radioactive isotopes which is encapsulated with a stainless steel to avoid higher LET radiation condamination .typically source may be used in brachytherapy to treat the cancer and unsealed source used to in nuclear medicine which is the radioactive source is not sealed examble IODINE131
WHAT DOES The amount of radiation that an individual absorbs depends on?
Time exposed to a radioactive source and the Distance a person is from a radioactive source and Type and amount of shielding between a person and a radioactive source.
What is the source of heating in the mantle?
Source of heat in mantle come from radioactive decay of the radioactive elements inside the earth..
The amount of radiation that an individual absorbs depended on what?
Time exposed to a radioactive source Distance a person is from a radioactive source Type and amount of shielding between a person and a radioactive source X All answers are correct
What is the source of heat in the Earth interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
What mineral is probably the source for radioactive isotopes derived from nuclear reactors?
uranium is probably the source for radioactive isotopes derived from nuclear reactors
What is the worst source of energy?
Nuclear energy can be considered one of the worst sources of energy due to the potential for catastrophic accidents, long-term environmental impact from radioactive waste, and concerns about nuclear proliferation.
Where gamma ray Originates?
by radioactive source
How do you handle radioactive sources safely?
it is a good idea to wear thick gloves and to stay as far away from the source as possible to minimise the amount of radiation that can reach you
Can radiation from americium kill people?
Americium being very radioactive this is possible; but this depends on the time of exposition to radiation, amount of americium, shielding of the source etc.
Does intracavitary radiation make people radioactive?
No, intracavitary radiation does not make people radioactive. The radioactive source used for treatment is placed inside the body temporarily, and once the treatment is completed, the source is removed. The patient does not become radioactive from this procedure.
Nuclear power how long does the radioactive source take to decay?
It depends on the radioactive source half life. refer to the related question below for more information.
