This book should serve to attract the attention of young people
interested in the natural sciences and could be used by teachers to disseminate
nuclear knowledge to the young generation. It is hoped that more compilations of
this kind from other nuclear areas will follow to enhance public awareness of
the many beneficial contributions of nuclear techniques. Topics covered
includes: Cosmochemistry, Methods And Method Validation, Environmental
Applications, Medical Applications, Industrial Applications, Non-destructive
Testing, And Analysis of Art Objects, Forensic Applications, Archaeological
Investigations.
The purpose of this book is to emphasize the importance of the existence
of the radioactive gas radon in the environment and to make this natural
phenomenon a top issue because radon is included in class A human
carcinogenesis.
This note deals with key issues of fusion reactor technologies based
on magnetic confinement, focusing on the tokamak concept. Overview of the fusion
power plant system will be introduced and energetics of which will be addressed.
Then, the way how to build and operate a tokamak is going to be covered.
This
note is intended to provide a broad understanding of how different types of
radiation deposit energy, including the creation and behavior of secondary
radiations; of how radiation affects cells and why the different types of
radiation have very different biological effects. Also explains the effects of
radiation on biological systems including DNA damage, in vitro cell survival
models and in vivo mammalian systems.
