of these differences beta particles can move through paper while alpha particles can’t. Why are gamma rays so dangerous? Gamma rays have the highest penetration ability of the three types of particles. The other two particles can cause cancers or radiation burns on the skin. Because of the gamma rays high penetration it can cause damage throughout the body and is a higher cancer risk. Student 6 page 2: High Not Achieved What are nuclear fuel elements?

Wea`am Mohammad Al-jarie Dr. mokhleed zaza physics Medical applications of x-ray Introduction: X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers‚ corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz) X-rays up to about 10 keV (10 to 0.10 nm wavelength) are classified as "soft" X-rays‚ and from about 10 to 120 keV (0.10 to 0.01 nm wavelength) as "hard" X-rays‚ due

maximize the profits from both industries. Nuclear technology is one of the growing industries with varying applications ranging from medicine‚ mining‚ agriculture‚ hydrology‚ industry and research [1]. This technology is mainly dependent on the radiation and radioisotopes of some elements. The mining and agricultural applications of nuclear technology can be very useful in South Africa as its applications have been proved to be more efficient practical and convenient to implement.

Abstract This paper discusses radon gas‚ which is produced as a byproduct of the natural decomposition of uranium in rocks‚ soil‚ and water. Gas build-up in enclosed dwellings such as houses‚ apartment and office buildings‚ factories‚ and schools is a major concern in many parts of the country. Human exposure to high concentrations of this gas for extended periods of time can be extremely damaging to health. Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate of any cancer‚ and it is estimated that 15%
