| When tritium decays, it emits beta radiation that damages the membranes of electrolysers. |
| Other uses are as beta-radiation sources e.g., in light sources that use phosphors to absorb beta radiation and convert it to visible light. |
| The company claimed that alpha or beta radiation technologies are not scientifically or technically capable of being used with cargos scanners. |
| Bruce noted that, from now on, it will measure both alpha and beta radiation levels before any work is initiated. |
| Where beta radiation is present, bremmstrahlung radiation will be produced. Shielding may therefore be required. |
| It also appears that alpha and beta radiation technologies can be used for scanning certain type of cargo. |
