What else can I help you with?
Suppose the amount of radiation that could be received from a microwave oven varies inversely as the square of the distance from it How many feet away must you stand to reduce your potential radiatio?
Suppose the amount of radiation that could be received from a microwave oven varies inversely as the square of the distance from it. How many feet away must you stand to reduce your potential radiation exposure to the amount you could receive standing 1 foot away?
Why is dealing with nuclear waste a problem?
I wonder that some think that there is difficulty in disposal of radioactive waste. Toxic waste is even more difficult. Radioactivity levels reduce by time but toxicity not. There is no difficulty in disposal of radioactive wastes except the unjustified concerns of the public that oppose radioactive waste disposal in their vicinity. Currently; there are well established methods; subject to strict local and international regulations; and approaches to deal with radioactive waste based on the waste form (solid, liquid. gaseous) and the radioactivity level (low, intermediate, high). Primarily; three methods are applied:delay and decay: to maintain waste in tanks for some periods of time to allow decay of radioactivity and then to be disposed of to environment.dilute and disperse: to dispose to environment (through dilution and dispersion) as ocean, sea, atmosphere, etc.contain and concentrate: This is used mainly for high level radioactive waste as spent fuel or the spent fuel reprocessing products; either in wet storage, dry storage, or incineration&containment in barrels, or vitrified waste.
Can nuclear waste catch on fire?
The USSR had a nuclear waste dump have a steam explosion at a site called Chelabinsk-40 in the late 50s, when decay heat melted snow above the dump saturating it with water and bringing it to criticality. Note it did not have a nuclear explosion, just a steam explosion. However it scattered radioactive mud over a large area, requiring evacuation of several villages.

Rubbing alcohol
Which of the following compounds can be administered to reduce the absorption of radiation that targets the thyroid?
Potassium iodide can be administered to reduce the absorption of radiation that targets the thyroid. It works by saturating the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine, thereby reducing the uptake of radioactive iodine.
Can a radioactive particle filter be suspended in a plume of radioactive smoke or steam to vacuum and reduce radiation released into the environment during a meltdown?
Yes but it can't stop all radiation going in the atmosphere, it slow slows it down.
Which compounds can be administered to reduce the absorption of radiation that targets the thyroid?
Potassium iodide (KI) can be administered to reduce the absorption of radioactive iodine by the thyroid. This helps protect the thyroid gland from radiation damage by saturating it with stable iodine, reducing its uptake of radioactive iodine. It is important to follow guidance from healthcare professionals on the appropriate dosage and timing of administration during a radiation emergency.
How can nuclear radiation be absorbed?
Yes. Any element which is radioactive may bond together with other molecules and atoms, just as much as any other non-radioactive element. However, radioactive elements would have a slightly greater pull towards their bonded species if their nucleus has more neutrons than what is normal for non-radioactive elements.
What are some alternative options to potassium iodide for radiation protection?
Some alternative options to potassium iodide for radiation protection include Prussian blue, DTPA, and calcium. These substances can help remove radioactive particles from the body and reduce the risk of radiation exposure.
Ways to reduce radioactive waste?
you can't
What precautions should be taken when handling radioactive things?
When handling radioactive materials, it is important to wear protective gear such as gloves and a lab coat, work in a well-ventilated area, and use shielding to minimize exposure to radiation. It is also important to follow proper handling and storage procedures, and to limit the time spent near the radioactive material to reduce the risk of exposure. Additionally, proper training and monitoring of radiation levels are essential to ensure safety.
What neutralizes radiation and helps to reduce its harmful effects?
Lead is a material that can neutralize radiation and help reduce its harmful effects.
How much do clouds reduce UV radiation?
Clouds can reduce UV radiation by up to 80, depending on their thickness and coverage.
What element protects people from radioactive substences?
This depends upon the radioactive challenge. Boron has a high neutron capture cross-section, hence the huge quantities of boron used to help sanitize the Chernobyl and Fukishima reactors. But ordinarily, simple massive materials such as massive concrete or lead are materials of choice.
What is The time required for a radioactive mass to reduce by a factor of 2 called?
The time required for a radioactive mass to reduce by a factor of 2 is called the half-life. It is the time it takes for half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay.
Who Manufactures of radiation antidote?
There is no "radiation antidote". There are several drugs that can reduce the harm from radiation, but no one antidote.
