| Contamination does not include residual radioactive material remaining at a site after the completion of decommissioning. |
|
| Being within the intended Containment differentiates radioactive material from radioactive contamination. |
|
| In the case of fixed contamination, the radioactive material cannot by definition be spread, but its radiation is still measurable. |
|
| The air can be contaminated with radioactive isotopes in particulate form, which poses a particular inhalation hazard. |
|
| For this reason, it is important to use personal protective equipment when working with radioactive materials. |
|
| Cleaning up contamination results in radioactive waste unless the radioactive material can be returned to commercial use by reprocessing. |
|
| The residual radioactive contamination on the surface is significantly reduced once the strippable coating is removed. |
|
| Low levels of radioactive contamination pose little risk, but can still be detected by radiation instrumentation. |
|
| The time radioactive waste must be stored for depends on the type of waste and radioactive isotopes. |
|
| Sugar is added to control the ruthenium chemistry and to stop the formation of the volatile RuO4 containing radioactive ruthenium isotopes. |
|
| For instance, it is possible to use a ferric hydroxide floc to remove radioactive metals from aqueous mixtures. |
|
| Long term behavior of radioactive wastes remains a subject for ongoing research projects in geoforecasting. |
|
| The water that invaded the trenches became radioactive and had to be disposed of at the Maxey Flat facility itself. |
|
| The dangerous goods transport classification sign for radioactive materials. |
|
| Sellafield has several radioactive waste stores, mostly on an interim basis while a national waste repository plan is developed and implemented. |
|
| Ocean scientist David Assinger has challenged this general suggestion, and cites the Dead Sea as the most radioactive sea in the world. |
|
| One of these radioactive substances, Krypton 85, will cause death and skin cancer. |
|
| By contrast, there are radioactive decay processes that do not result in a nuclear transmutation. |
|
| For a summary table showing the number of stable and radioactive nuclides in each category, see radionuclide. |
|
| There are 29 naturally occurring chemical elements on Earth that are radioactive. |
