Are nuclear radiation and nuclear power the samething?
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.
Is containment the cure the to nuclear radiation in chernobyl?
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.
Is nuclear radiation a bad or a good thing?
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.
Does nuclear radiation go away?
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.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation arises only from nuclear excitations?
Gamma Rays
Silicon surface barrier detector?
A silicon surface barrier detector is a type of radiation detector that uses a thin layer of silicon to detect ionizing radiation. When radiation interacts with the silicon, it creates electron-hole pairs which produce an electrical signal. These detectors are commonly used in nuclear physics, medicine, and other fields for their high sensitivity and fast response time.
What is Geiger meter?
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.
Which radiation detector is independent of particle A- wilson cloud chamber B- GM tube C- solid state detector D- all?
The Wilson Chamber has the radiation independent of the particle. This is a particle detector used for detecting ionizing radiation.
How much would one expect to pay for a top end radiation detector?
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.
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit various types of radiation, including gamma radiation, neutron radiation, and thermal radiation. These forms of radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.
How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
How is alpha radiation detected?
Alpha radiation is typically detected using a particle detector such as a Geiger-Muller tube or a semiconductor detector. These detectors are sensitive to the ionization produced by the heavy and charged alpha particles as they pass through the detector material. The detector then converts this ionization into electrical signals that can be measured and analyzed.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs produce gamma radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release high-energy photons. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the explosion of nuclear devices.
What is the relationship between nuclear radiation and nuclear fallout?
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.
What is the difference between radiation monitors and radiation detector?
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.
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
