The US Environmental Protection Agency EPA is responsible for advising the government on radiation hazards and regulating certain sources of radioactivity in the environment This booklet provides basic facts about radiation science as well as inform IMPORTANT NOTE:Radiation Exposure Statement:This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with mi Ionising radiation Radiation is all around us all day, every day. It sustains our lives. We see because our eyes detectradiation, whether from the sun or from a glowingfire, keeps us warm. We often co CSULB Radiation Safety Office. March, 2013. Welcome. This PowerPoint presentation provides an overview of how to use the LSC for qualitative purposes such as for contamination surveys. You will be provided detailed instructions on specific LSC counting methods and materials by experienced personnel in your particular lab. Proper use of the LSC is monitored by supervisor, the IRUA holder for whom you work and by Radiation Safety as a part of their audits of your radiation safety program compliance.. Minghua. Zhang.

Demonstrate Decontamination. Radiation refers to the process that is concerned with the passage of energy between places through space. . It is the radiation generated by sun that . regulates the temperature of earth. . . CLASSIFICATION OF RADIATION: ionizing or non-ionizing types. . GUIDE Activity The rate of disintegration per unit time is measured in curies and based on the following standard: Unit Quantity 1 curie (Ci) 3.7 X 10 10 dps (disintegrations per second) 1 millicuri The cell life cycle The cell cycle G0 = Cell is resting G1 = RNA and proteins are made S = DNA is made G2 = Apparatus for mitosis is built M = Mitosis (the cell divides into 2 cells) G0 phase (restin . Radiation is the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles. Radiation that is so powerful that it can remove electrons from atoms is called ionizing.. Examples of types of ionizing radiation are x-rays from medical machines and gamma rays from radioactive substances. . •. Radiation biology . is the study of the action of ionizing radiation on living organisms . •The action is very complex, involving physics, chemistry, and biology . –Different types of ionizing radiation . Physics Behind PHITS Simulation. 2. Radiation & Radioactivity. Ability to generate radiation due to decay of nucleus. *to be explained later. Example. : Spent nuclear fuel. Plume containing .
