radiation poisoning [5]. Astronauts will be exposed to extremely high levels of ionizing radiation (radiation consisting of particles, x-rays, or gamma rays with sufficient energy to cause ionization—acquires a negative or positive charge) from cosmic rays and solar flares. Astronauts will “see” flashes of light while their eyes are closed, these are actually cosmic rays slashes through their brains [5]. This form of radiation can damage human cells, potentially leading to a diminished immune system and

teacher affects eternity; he/she can never know where his/her influence stops”. In the book Speak, by Laurie Anderson and The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds, by Paul Zindel, students find valuable discoveries about themselves, throughout the book/play. Melinda, ( the protagonist in Speak) and Tillie ( the protagonist in The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds) have to overcome tough challenges at school and at their homes because of what people say and do to these

Nuclear power is one of the most controversial issues of today’s society. This stems from the fact that although nuclear power holds vast amounts of potential, it currently has many problems. One of the main problems is figuring out what to do with the waste. The waste itself is too dangerous to dispose of in any conventional way, so presently, most of it is sealed in concrete casks and put into storage (in bunkers) until it stops being dangerous. This might not seem like a bad idea at first, but

care provider about changing or stopping your regular medicines. This is especially important if you are taking diabetes medicines or blood thinners. • Do not take any medicines that contain bismuth for 4 days before the scan. • Do not have X-rays that use barium contrast material for 4 days before the scan. • Do not wear metallic jewelry to the scan. • Do not drink very much for 4 hours before the scan. You will need to drink several glasses of water at the beginning of the scan. PROCEDURE

“Radiation Induced Dermatitis” Radiation Therapy is used to treat cancer in patients very comonly. Radiation Dermatitis is a common side effect from this treatment that ranges from mild rash to severe ulceration. It is also called radiodermatitis, x-ray dermatitis, radiation skin damage, or a radiation burn. According to Therapeutics in Dermatology radiation dermatitis was at one time considered to be a major problem in conventional radiography in the 1970s but now with the development of high energy

Lance Baines Mr. Sanders The radioactive Boyscout December, 2015 Introduction The A simple definition of the word radioactiveis to have or develope a strong and dangerous form of energy. This could also be named radiation. A radioactive substance incvolves a very harmful form of energy that is developed betwen nuclear reactions. In the book "The Radioactive Boyscout" by ken Silversteint, there are several examples of radioactive substances being produced. The main character in the book is very

Nuclear medicine, based on Merriam Webster dictionary, nuclear medicine is “a branch of medicine dealing with the use of radioactive materials in the diagnosis and treatment disease.” Providing doctors widespread information about the functions and structures of the body, it is quickly expanding to new heights. Even though the history of Nuclear Medicine is undetermined, News Medical historians, propose that it was discovered by Frédéric Joliot-Curie and Irène Joliot-Curie in the year of 1934.

There are many medical uses of nuclear energy, it is not only just used for treating patients but diagnosing the condition. Nuclear energy is widely used in the field of medicine and dental imaging, the different radionuclides of elements are combined with different chemical compounds which results in the creation of radio pharmaceuticals which are later used for imaging and helps in diagnosing the extent of spread of disease. There are many benefits to using nuclear energy for medical, common uses
