True or false? Nonstochastic effects are those associated with low levels of exposure to radiation over long time periods.
False
True
Not sure
Name a catroshoptic nuclear event?
Minamata Disease Disaster
Chernobyl
Exxon Valdez
Love Canal, Niagara Falls, New York
Radioactivity is...
Propagation of energy through space, or some other medium, in the form of electromagnetic waves or par- ticles. Radiation also includes neutrons, which are part of the nucleus of an atom and do not have an electrical charge.
The spontaneous emission of radiation from the nucleus of an unstable atom. As a result of this emission, the radioactive atom is converted, or decays, into an atom of a different element that might or might not be radioactive.
Occurs when an electric charge alternates (oscillates back and forth) very rapidly in a radio antenna to produce radio waves, which move at the speed of light.
Which is not an example of a antropogenic/manmade source of ionizing radiation?
Pasteurization
X-rays
Nuclear power
Radio frequency energy
Which of the follow is not a naturally occurring element of radiation?
Lithium
Radon
Extraterrestrial radiation
Uranium
Which is a type of radiation?
Delta
Iota
Gamma
Zeta
Factors that govern the amount of exposure to radiation that a person receives (dose delivered) include all except...
Distance from the radioactive source
The amount of radiation dose that is absorbed is always associated with acute health effects
Degree of radioactivity (rate of energy emission) of a radioactive material
The total amount of time exposed to the radioactive source
True or false. A dirty bomb differs from an atomic bomb or other nuclear bomb in that the explosion, which disperses radioactive materials, is caused by conventional explosives and not by nuclear fission or fusion?
False
True
