High energy muon colliders, such as the TeV-scale conceptual designs now being considered, are found to produce enough high energy neutrinos to constitute a potentially serious off-site radiation hazard in the neighbourhood of the accelerator site. A general characterization of this radiation hazard is given, followed by an order-of-magnitude calculation for the off-site annual radiation dose a...

Background: Measurement of the radiation dose distribution is important in assessing the health risk a population and serve as reference in documenting changes to environmental radioactivity in soil due to man-made activities. Materials and Methods: The activity concentration of 238U, 232Th and 40K in soil samples obtained from different locations in Ajaokuta Local Government area was measured ...

Radiation from imaging diagnostic had caused many detrimental effects to patients. Imaging diagnostic is the largest manmade source of radiation exposure. Doseresponse models have aided the study of effects of radiation from imaging diagnostic. Certain imaging tools have caused more radiation hazard towards patients such as computed tomography. Non-ionizing radiation imaging modalities have rep...

background: the concentrations and distributions of natural and anthropogenic radioactive materials in soils of the site of rooppur nuclear power plant (rnpp) were investigated with the aim of evaluating the environmental radioactivity and radiation hazard. materials and methods: soil samples were collected from 40 locations in and around the proposed site of rooppur power plant and determined ...

Radiation hazards have been known for more than 60 years. Only a few months after Rontgen’s discovery in I 895, enthusiasts were burning themselves and their patients by liberal applications of the new X-rays. Soon the dangers of X-rays and radium became all too obvious, or so it seems to us. At the time, few people were much alarmed and no effective measures of control were organized until abo...
