The PGEC is a comprehensive training programme that targets young professionals at graduate level or equivalent and helps them build a sound basis in radiation protection and the safety of radiation ...

Radioactive sources contain radioactive material of a particular radionuclide (an unstable form of an element emitting radiation), which can vary based on the application for which the source was ...

Channeling and radiation in crystalline materials involve the guided propagation of charged particles along well‐defined crystallographic planes or axes and the subsequent emission of radiation as ...

Synchrotron radiation sources generate highly brilliant light pulses, ranging from infrared to hard X-rays, which can be used to gain deep insights into complex materials. An international team has ...

Congress asked the National Academies to review the civilian uses of radiation sources that contain radionuclides and the potential replacements for sources that pose a high risk to public health or ...

How to keep stray radiation from 'shorting' superconducting qubits; a pair of studies shows where ionizing radiation is lurking and how to banish it. Now is the time to banish low-level radioactive ...

A new detector system based on the game 'Tetris' could enable inexpensive, accurate radiation detectors for monitoring nuclear sites. The spread of radioactive isotopes from the Fukushima Daiichi ...

Crew members onboard commercial airlines are exposed to cosmic ionizing radiation at flight altitude from galactic sources. These exposures over time have a potential to adversely impact health. An ad ...
