A radiac detects nuclear radiation. There are many types of radiac, some are: Geiger counter, ionization survey meter, scintillation counter, film badge dosimeter, electroscope dosimeter, electrometer, drift meter, cloud chambers, etc.
No, nuclear radiation has existed sense the first stars in the early universe began fusing hydrogen. Nuclear power is an industry created by man only in the early 1950s.
yes if we build a dome around the nuclear reactor we may be able to contain the radiation but we will not be able to clean up the radiation left over already.
Nuclear radiation is neither good nor bad, it is a natural phenomenon. Natural phenomena cannot be good or bad (this is an ethical/moral judgement), they are simply facts.
No, it doesn't.Wrong, it does. There are 2 types of nuclear radiation: prompt & decay.Prompt nuclear radiation occurs for a period of time while the reaction that generates it is happening. Examples are the flash of neutrons, light, x-rays, etc. when a nuclear bomb explodes as well as the sustained neutron flux as a nuclear reactor is in operation. When the reaction stops, prompt nuclear radiation goes away.Decay nuclear radiation occurs as radioactive isotopes decay to different isotopes. As the decay happens (which is a probabilistic process) the radioactive isotope is consumed. This follows an exponential function with one half of the current amount of the radioactive isotope consumed in each period of time called a halflife. While there will always be a tiny residue of the original radioactive isotope, for practical purposes it is considered to be negligible after 5 halflives have passed. When 5 halflives of the radioactive isotope decaying have passed, decay nuclear radiation is considered to have gone away for practical purposes.
Gamma Rays
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They detect the emission of nuclear radiation: alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays. A Geiger counter detects radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas in a Geiger-Müller tube
The Wilson Chamber has the radiation independent of the particle. This is a particle detector used for detecting ionizing radiation.
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They are notable for being used to detect if objects emit nuclear radiation.
There are so many contributing factors to the price of a radiation detector. For a extremely sensitive, high end radiation detector, someone could expect to pay approx $3500 USD.
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
people are planning to store nuclear radiation there.
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
The detector refers to the component that actually does the detecting. The monitor is the detector plus all the other stuff that comes with it that lets people monitor the levels of radiation.
fallout emits nuclear radiation, but lots of other things do too.fallout is particulates from dust size to baseball size, nuclear radiation is a mix of electromagnetic radiation and high speed subatomic particles.
