The Nuclear Regulatory Commission plans to end longstanding guidance that radiation exposure be “as low as reasonably achievable.” ...

The University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in collaboration with the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), has developed a new type of handheld multi-purpose radiation detector that ...

At the centre of all atoms, lies the nucleus. The nuclei of most atoms are stable. That means they do not decay over time. The nucleus of an unstable atom is considered radioactive since it changes ...

Radiation can wreak havoc on the human body when it's exposed to high doses or for prolonged periods of time. The world understood this in horrifying detail after the Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi ...

Reactor radiation-shielding optimization methods are proposed by combining many-objective evolutionary algorithms with particle-transport calculation software that can optimize the reactor ...

The TPU Engineering School of Non-Destructive Testing and Safety has developed a demonstration prototype of the first domestic robotic complex to inspect communications of nuclear industry facilities ...

Worldwide, regulations limiting doses from the radiation emitted by nuclear fissions and decays are based on the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model. This hypothesis posits that, irrespective of whether ...
