Routine reactor emissions pose no meaningful health risk to the US workers and population, a health physicist and a nuclear ...

The protective radiation shelter for the Chernobyl nuclear power plant—designed to contain radiation from Reactor 4, which was damaged during the 1986 explosion—could collapse if it’s struck again by ...

Radiation can wreak havoc on the human body when it's exposed to high doses or for prolonged periods of time. The world understood this in horrifying detail after the Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi ...

In this lesson, students will investigate the nature of radioactivity and the effect of both distance and shielding materials on different radioactive sources using a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter ...

Learn more about this mold’s ability to withstand high levels of radiation and how it could prove useful to astronauts looking to build long-term bases on Mars.

Occupational exposure to ionising radiation continues to be a critical concern across medical and nuclear medicine fields. With expanding diagnostic and therapeutic applications—from advanced imaging ...

Nuclear power plants are exposed to high-energy radiation, which degrades materials over time. Particles and rays interact with critical components, particularly in the reactor core, leading to ...

The Trump administration is considering tighter safety rules on the weak radiations of cellphones even as it pursues looser regulations on the deadly emanations of the nuclear industry. By William J.
