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.
What are the top selling fat loss supplements for 2007?
Ø Clinically proven to reduce dietary fat intake by over 27% Ø Proven to reduce calorie intake, reduce weight, suppress appetite and reduce cholesterol Ø Certified Medical Device Product (MDD93/42/EEC) Ø Revolutionary weight loss treatment
What can be used to reduce the chance of an infection?
Rubbing alcohol
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.
Ways to reduce radioactive waste?
you can't
How does foam wrap reduce radiation and conduction?
Foam wrap can reduce radiation and conduction because it is not a very good heat conductor.
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.
What radioactive decay processes do not reduce the atomic number of a nuclide?
Beta Decay.
What can goods are safe from radiation?
Things don't contain radiation. They can EMIT radiation, but they do this by actively producing it. It's like people emit sounds when they talk but there isn't a load of sound sitting inside the person waiting to be released.
What is The time required for a radioactive mass to reduce by a factor of 2 called?
half- life
What are the Ways to reduce the effects of cellphone towers radiation?
To reduce the effects of cellphone tower radiation, you can limit your exposure by keeping your distance from the towers, using hands-free devices or speakerphone when making calls, and minimizing the time spent on calls when in close proximity to the towers. Additionally, you can consider using shielding materials or devices that are designed to block or redirect radiation.
Can iodine help to prevent radiation sickness?
In simple terms, iodine can help someone to avoid radiation damage to the thyroid if that person is exposed to radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodine is one of the fission products that is released in a nuclear meltdown. If this material escapes into the atmosphere, individuals nearby may be exposed and take in radioactive iodine. Since iodine will collect in the thyroid, if iodine is taken before or upon exposure, the iodine a person took will "take up space" in the thyroid and the radioactive iodine won't be able to "move in" and collect in the thyroid and cause radiation damage. Taking iodine is a way to minimize a specific type of radiation poisoning. As radioactive iodine is a fission product, it can only appear as a result of an accident involving spent nuclear fuel. The nuclear meltdown is the most probable cause of the release of fission products, and there are a number of very hazardous fission products other than iodine. It is a good idea to reduce exposure by reducing exposure time, increasing the distance a person is from a source, or setting up some kind of shielding.
Why can we compare the ozone layer to sunscreen?
They both reduce your exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Why is the inside of a thermos flask silver?
To reduce heat loss by thermal radiation.
What can you do to reduce exposure to nuclear radiation?
Wear a badge containing photographic film.
