How Nuclear Research Is Improving Human Health

Physics in Nuclear Medicine

Recent Fukushima nuclear detonation, Chernobyl nuclear fallout, three mile island nuclear accident and atomic bomb explosion – rethinking the effects of nuclear radiations over human health

Background: The earlier Atomic Bomb explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and three worth mentioning nuclear accidents - detonation at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Chernobyl nuclear fallout and an accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant have made us more worried about the secure exploitation of nuclear energy. The central focus of this paper is to review radiation-mediated health e...

Ecologically Clean Accelerator for Nuclear Physics Research

Rigid ecological requirements to human activity including industry and science force to search for specific technologies to reduce the undesired influence on nature. High intensity accelerators belong to the objects that produce radioactive waste. We have studied rf accelerator schema where the electron beam used is directed again into the same accelerator with appropriate phase in order to red...
