  1. Induced radioactivity

    Refimprove date October 2010 Induced radioactivity occurs when a previously stable material has been made radioactive by exposure to specific radiation . Most radioactivity does not induce other material to become radioactive. Neutron activation is the main form of induced radioactivity, which happens when free neutron s are captured by nuclei. This new heavier isotope can be stable or unstable radioactive depending on the chemical element involved. Because free neutrons disintegrate within minutes outside of an atomic Atomic nucleus nucleus , neutron radiation can be obtained only from nuclear disintegration s, nuclear reaction s, and high energy reactions such as in cosmic radiation showers or particle accelerator collisions . Neutrons that have been slowed down through a neutron moderator thermal neutron s are more likely to be captured by nuclei than fast neutrons. A less common form involves removing a neutron via photodisintegration . In this reaction, a high energy photon gamma ray strikes a nucleus with an energy greater than the binding energy of the atom , releasing a neutron. This reaction has a minimum cutoff of 2 Electronvolt MeV for hydrogen and around 10 MeV for most heavy nuclei. Many radionuclides do not produce gamma rays with energy high enough to induce this reaction ... and thus cannot induce radioactivity in the food. ref Caesium 137 emits gammas at 662 keV while cobalt 60 emits gammas at 1.2 and 1.3 MeV. ref Some induced radioactivity is produced by background ... places on Earth , the amount of induced radioactivity in a single location is usually very small ... radioactivity.

Some radionuclei are synthesised in particle accelerator s and have short Half life half lives , giving them high maximum theoretical specific activities. This lowers the detection time compared to radionuclei with longer half lives, such as carbon 14. In some applications they have been substituted by fluorescent dye s.

  1. Counts per minute

    About radioactivity other uses of abbreviation CPM disambiguation Unreferenced date December 2009 Counts per minute cpm is a measure of radioactivity . It is the number of atom s in a given quantity of radioactive material that are detected to have decayed in one minute. Disintegrations per minute dpm is also a measure of radioactivity. It is the number of atoms in a given quantity of radioactive material that decay in one minute. Dpm is similar to cpm, however the efficiency of the radiation detector e.g. scintillation counter must be accounted for when analysing data in cpm. Dpm is the number of atoms that have decayed, not the number of atoms that have been measured as decayed. Dpm is commonly used as a measure of radioactive contamination . One becquerel Bq is equal to one disintegration per second One Bequerel Bq is equal to 60 dpm. One curie Ci is equal to 3.7 x 10 sup 10 sup Bq or dps, which is equal to 2.22 x 10 sup 12 sup dpm.

  1. The Pause

    Unreferenced date October 2007 The Pause may also refer to the Projecting Nothing recording artist PAUS3 The Pause is a science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov . It was first published in August Derleth s 1954 anthology Time to Come and reprinted in the 1975 collection Buy Jupiter and Other Stories . Plot summary Alexander Johannison, a nuclear physicist working at the United States Atomic Energy Commission , is mystified when his Geiger Counter starts failing to detect radioactivity . Over a period of time, his colleagues also notice the same strange events, but when he finally reports to his boss, no one will take him seriously and he realises that he is the only one who is still aware of the existence of radioactivity. Thinking that maybe an enemy has removed all knowledge of nuclear power nuclear energy and nuclear weapons and is about to invade the United States, he goes home and finds a stranger there talking to his wife. The stranger, who looks like an impossibly perfect human, explains that he is an entity from outside the Universe . He has been assigned to perform an operation on humanity to save them from a potential nuclear holocaust. As part of the operation, all knowledge of radioactivity has been removed from humanity for five years. Also, all radioactive elements no longer exist. After the Pause, about one hundred people, including Johannison, will have the task of re educating humanity in the peaceful use of nuclear power. The story ends on a sinister note, as, in discussing the visit with his wife, Johannison points out that the visitor at one point referred to the Earth as the yard , mistakenly using its own context in the reference rather than ours. Johannison concludes that it regards the Earth as a barnyard and humans as mere cattle who have to be controlled.

  1. Musée Curie

    Image Institut Curie IMG 1253.JPG thumb right 250px An exhibit in the Mus e Curie The Mus e Curie Curie Museum is a historical museum focusing on radiology radiological research. It is located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris 5th arrondissement at 11, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris , France , and open weekday afternoons admission is free. The museum was closed for renovation but was reopened in the second half of 2011. Currently, it is closed for a review of its exhibition and is expected to reopen in summer 2012. The museum was established in 1934, after Curie s death, on the ground floor of the Curie Pavilion of the Institut du Radium. It was formerly Marie Curie s laboratory, built 1911 1914, and where she performed research from 1914 1934. In this laboratory her daughter and son in law Ir ne Joliot Curie Ir ne and Fr d ric Joliot Curie discovered artificial radioactivity , for which they received the 1935 Nobel Prize for Chemistry . The museum contains a permanent historical exhibition on radioactivity and its applications, notably in medicine, focusing primarily on the Curies, and displays some of the most important research apparatus used before 1940. It also contains a center for historical resource which holds archives, photographs, and documentation on the Curies, Joliot Curies, the Curie Institute Paris Institut Curie , and the history of radioactivity and oncology .
