Ionising radiations (IR) occurs as either electromagnetic rays (such as X-rays and gamma rays) or particles (such as alpha and beta particles). IR occurs naturally (e.g. from the radioactive decay of ...

The radiation emitted from unstable nuclei is called ionising radiation because as it passes through matter it can dislodge outer electrons from atoms causing them to become ions. An unstable ...

When exposed to ionising radiation, photographic film will turn from being transparent to dark and non-transparent. This effect is used by people who work with radiation in detectors called film ...

Nuclear technologies like ionising radiation prolong products shelf life. For Tanzania, the application of these technologies represents ...

The University has a clear policy and extensive guidance for working with ionising radiation. All radioactive sources, waste and workers are monitored, recorded and managed by Safety and Health ...
