Answer 1

(I) Nuclear devices should be exploded under ground.

(II) Contaminants may be employed to decrease the radioactive emissions.

(III) Production of radio isotopes should be minimised.

(IV) Extreme care should be exercised in the disposal of industrial wastes contained with radionuclide's.

(V) Use of high chimney and ventilations at the working place where radioactive contamination is high.

(VI) In nuclear reactors, closed cycle coolant system with gaseous coolants of very high purity may be used to prevent extraneous activation products.

(VII) Fission reactions should be minimised.

(VIII) In nuclear mines, wet drilling may be employed along with underground drainage.

(IX) Nuclear medicines and radiation therapy should be applied when absolutely necessary and earth minimum doses.
