There is a difference between "radiation" and "contamination"
Radiation can be of different forms such as beta's, gamma's, etc. This is what is typically considered when this term is used.
Contamination is essentially when dust sized items that are radioactive are on your skin or ingested. This is very dangerous.
What else can I help you with?
Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
What is the measuring unit of nuclear radiation?
Roentgen
Which nuclear radiation is smallest?
Gamma radiation is the smallest and most penetrating form of nuclear radiation. It consists of high-energy electromagnetic waves, similar to X-rays.
What does a Nuclear radiation device measure?
A nuclear radiation device measures the level of radiation present in a particular environment. It can detect and quantify different types of ionizing radiation, such as alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation. These devices are essential for monitoring radiation levels in areas like nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and environmental sites.
Which form of radiation is used to directly INCREASE the temperature of water in a nuclear reactor?
The form of radiation used to increase the temperature of water in a nuclear reactor is thermal radiation. This radiation is generated by the nuclear fission process occurring in the reactor core, which produces heat that is transferred to the water to create steam for electricity generation.
What is a nuclear engineering job?
Nuclear engineers work in labs working with radiation and sometimes even actual nuclear product. They learn how to work around problems and discover new ways radiation can be helpful or harmful to the human body.
Who works with xrays radiation nuclear medicine and ultasound?
Radiologists work with these.
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
Who work with x rays radiation nuclear medicine ultrasound?
Radiographers and radiologists, and scientists.
Is nuclear power dangerous to humans?
All sorts of nuclear radiation are dangerous. To use nuclear power safely the radiation in the reactor core must not be allowed to escape. Provided this is achieved, it is a safe industry. The health records of those who work on nuclear sites proves this.
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.
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 careers involve radioisotope?
Careers that involve radioisotopes include nuclear medicine technologist, radiation therapist, health physicist, and nuclear engineer. These professionals work with radioisotopes in various ways, such as in medical imaging, cancer treatment, radiation safety, and nuclear power generation.
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
Is beta radiation a type of nuclear radiation?
Yes
