Sentences with phrase «with radioactive particles»

This happened in 1986 when a nuclear power plant at Chernobyl caught fire and exploded, showering surrounding territory with radioactive particles and threatening to let molten uranium fuel seep deep into the ground.

Another perennial concern is that the water contaminated with radioactive particles still leaking from the stricken nuclear power plant site is poisoning Pacific Ocean fish and other seafood.

Not exact matches

We've already done that with the opposite reaction, fission — the breaking of large atoms into smaller particles — which leaves us with the troublesome byproduct of radioactive waste.

The fire, whatever kind it was, appears to have carried radioactive particles into the surrounding countryside to the northwest as it coincided in time with the wind blowing in that direction.

Led by Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist and marine chemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), the team found that a small fraction of contaminated seafloor sediments off Fukushima are moved offshore by typhoons that resuspend radioactive particles in the water, which then travel laterally with southeasterly currents into the Pacific Ocean.

Each carried 10 separate science instruments, including cameras and devices to measure magnetism and charged particles, along with a state - of - the - art eight - track - tape data recorder and a long - lasting radioactive generator.

The EPR authors described a source, such as a radioactive nucleus, that shot out pairs of particles with the same speed but in opposite directions.

The original dust particles were made largely of silicates mixed with other materials, including water and aluminum 26, a radioactive isotope with a half - life of about 700,000 years.

At the US government's Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, researchers are generating neutrons with a particle accelerator and using them to transmute long - lived radioactive elements.

A PET scanner can then detect the radioactive particles emitted from inside the brain, representing areas of increased microglial activation before and after immune stimulation with LPS.

Curium was only discovered in 1944, by Glenn Seaborg and his collaborators at the University of California, Berkeley, who, by bombarding atoms of plutonium with alpha particles (atoms of helium) synthesized a new, very radioactive element.

The particle collisions that researchers scour for exotic debris also bombard the machine's metal parts with neutrons and other particles that render the metal radioactive.

Produced by the decay of radioactive elements, these particles rarely, if ever, interact with matter, making them extremely hard to detect and study.

It binds to radioactive particles flushing them out of the body and is very effective in detoxifying our organism from mercury, which is very important as most of us might be contaminated with mercury through dental fillings, vaccination, or fish consumption.

Assume body «B» is a thin spherical shell (external radius, RI) with a radioactive source (make it an alpha particle emitter so that the energy of the radioactive particles are quickly converted to random molecular motion) uniformly (i.e., symmetrically) distributed throughout the shell wall.

Dane: I just now (4-14-16) heard you discuss climate engineering and the synergistic complexities which flare into existence when combined with Fukushima Radiation in both the air and the Pacific — and other radioactive particles from who knows where (Iraq war DU,left - over above ground atomic explosions, millions of tons of nuke waste just dumped into the oceans since 1945)?
