Study Notes

Types of Radiation

  • Ionizing radiation, including alpha, beta, and gamma rays, is emitted during nuclear decay
  • Alpha particles are high-energy helium nuclei, beta particles are high-energy electrons, and gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation

Dangers of Nuclear Radiation

  • The primary danger of exposure to nuclear radiation is that it can cause damage to living cells, leading to genetic mutations and cancer

Measuring Radiation Exposure

  • A common way to measure the amount of radiation exposure is through the sievert (Sv), which takes into account the biological effect of different types of radiation on living tissue
  • Other units of measurement include the gray (Gy) and the rem (R)
