Eleven documents in the library in the category Radiation

Radiation: When considering energy based on nuclear technology, the subject of radiation needs to be understood to gain public acceptance. This is a little understood subject by the general public even though there is a vast amount understanding in the scientific document. What is radiation, what are it's sources, what and where are the dangers, what can be done to reduce these dangers, how do the dangers compare to alternative sources of GHG free energy?

UNSCEAR, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, is the international body with the responsibility to report on the exposure of people to radiation worldwide and to assess the scientific information on the effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. The document discusses the following: What is radiation? How is radiation measured? How are people exposed to radiation? What levels of radiation exposure do people receive? What are the effects of exposure to radiation? moreless

IAEA Summary report on the Chernobyl accident 20 years after. The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 was the most severe in the history of the nuclear power industry, causing a huge release of radionuclides over large areas of Belarus, Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Now, 20 years later, UN agencies and representatives of the three countries have reviewed the health, environmental and socio-economic consequences. moreless
