The world ends on Oct. 23, 2077, in a series of radioactive explosions—at least in the world of "Fallout," a post-apocalyptic video game series that has now been adapted into a blockbuster TV show on ...

Nuclear reactors – both old and new designs – use a lot of graphite as it is a key component. It is also one of the components in a reactor that gets deformed due to the radiation. The reason behind ...

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 ...

Radioactive safety in nuclear facilities is of utmost importance. Prior to workers entering these areas, a 3D radiation field is needed for accurately estimating their exposure. Due to the complex ...

Concrete is a primary structural material in nuclear power plants (NPPs) which are used for structures and biological shielding. Containment structures, a key application, are designed to withstand ...

Radionuclides are unstable chemical elements that emit radiation as they break down and become more stable. They occur on a daily basis in nature and can also be created artificially. During normal ...

(Example: Using data from the distance and shielding lab to understand the role that distance and shielding materials play in radiation exposure.) This lab was created with support from Dr. Nathaniel ...

The Trump administration is considering tighter safety rules on the weak radiations of cellphones even as it pursues looser regulations on the deadly emanations of the nuclear industry. By William J.

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 ...
