Mapping prepared by a Victorian climate action group shows just how far the impacts of a nuclear disaster could spread, if ...

There are various measurements of radiation exposure; therefore, familiarity with the nomenclature is required to understand the risks. The effective dose, measured in millisieverts (mSv), is a ...

Using a combination of scintillator crystals, high-density materials that emit light when they absorb radiation, and solar cells ... researchers used two different radioactive sources, cesium-137, and ...

Radioactive isotopes commonly found in nuclear waste. Cesium-137 is a significant fission byproduct, while cobalt-60 is often used in medical and industrial applications due to its high radiation ...
