radiation dispersal device
Detonation of a nuclear device, discharge of radioactive materials (whether accidental or deliberate), spillage or distribution of radioactive materials.
A "dirty bomb", a type of radiological weapon, can disseminate radioactive materials by means of a conventional explosion. Dirty bombs are potential terrorist weapons since advanced knowledge of physics and actinide chemistry are not needed to construct such a weapon.
Yes.
The law prohibits dissemination of campaighn materials inside polling places.
In that case, the radioactive materials will pollute the atmosphere.
The DOT (Department of Transportation) class for radioactive materials is Hazardous. The specific Hazard number will be determined by the exact name of the radioactive materials. Special permits and placarding are needed for vehicles carrying hazardous materials. The DOT class is categorized into 9 classes according to hazardous materials transportation. Class 7 is the general DOT class for radioactive materials.
Radioactive materials contain unstable atoms that decay and emit radiation, while non-radioactive materials do not emit radiation. Radioactive materials can be harmful to living organisms due to their ionizing radiation, whereas non-radioactive materials are generally considered safe for everyday use.
Hazard Class 7 is the class for radioactive materials.
Radioactive materials decay at predictable rates
It is an area that is contaminated with radioactive materials.
No, some radioactive materials are not solids. Most radioactive materials are solids (uranium, plutonium, isotopes of many other materials) Some radioactive materials are gases (Radon) or isotopes of gases (Tritium, carbon fourteen, etc.)
The term for implanting radioactive materials into tissues for treatment is called brachytherapy.
