Learning more about radioactivity by AREVA - 2005 publication
Radioactivity comes from unstable atomic nuclei that spontaneously emit radiation. Some elements like uranium and radium are naturally radioactive, while other radioisotopes have been artificially produced. Radioactivity is measured using units like becquerel (disintegrations per second), gray (energy absorbed), and sievert (biological effects on exposure). Proper shielding, distance, and limiting exposure time can help protect against radiation.
Radioactivity
The document discusses ionizing radiation and its applications. It describes three types of ionizing radiation - alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles have the highest ionization density and shortest range, while gamma rays have the lowest ionization density and longest range. Ionizing radiation is used in applications like medical imaging, radiation therapy, smoke detectors, carbon dating, and detecting leaks. It can kill or damage living cells, making it useful for sterilization but also dangerous if not handled safely.
Radioactivity
Radioactivity refers to the particles which are emitted from nuclei as a result of nuclear instability. Because the nucleus experiences the intense conflict between the two strongest forces in nature, it should not be surprising that there are many nuclear isotopes which are unstable and emit some kind of radiation.
