Prime purpose of this lecture is to present on How to Control Radiation? Basic Control Methods for External Radiation: Decrease Time; Increase Distance and Increase Shielding. Minimize time of exposure to…

Non-ionizing Radiation are electromagnetic waves incapable of producing ions while passing through matter, due to their lower energy. The sun emits radiation composed of high energy infrared…

Ionizing Radiation is a type of radiation that is able to disrupt atoms and molecules on which they pass through, giving rise to ions and free…

The first transuranium element was produced at the University of California at Berkley in 1940 by E. M. McMillan and P. H. Abelson. The transuranium elements…

Nuclear chemistry is the study of changes in an atoms nucleus. Reactions that involve a change in the nucleus of an atom are called nuclear reactions.…

Radiation is an energy in the form of electro-magnetic waves or particulate matter, traveling in the air. Radiation is energy that comes from a source and…

Primary objective of this lecture is to present on Nuclear Emissions. Radiation comes from the nucleus of an atom. Unstable nucleus emits a particle or energy. There are…

This lecture introduce on Nuclear Radiation. Nuclear radiation is defined as the energy particles or rays that are given off from a radioactive element, such as uranium,…

Radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation to treat cancer i.e. to destroy cancerous cells. There are two techniques in radiation therapy that are used to treat cancer…

Ionizing radiation can kill or change the nature of living cells. The effects of the damage inflicted by the ionizing radiation may be severe and cause immediate…

Main objective of this lecture is to present on Effects of Radiation on Living Things. Radiation may be absorbed by the medium it passes through. Radiation can kill…

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei and energy is released. Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction…
