alpha and beta emitter material are stored in which container
Answers
External bremsstrahlung consists of photons created by the acceleration of changed particles in the electro-magnetic field of the nucleus. The photons are emitted with a continuous range of energies up to the maximum energy of the charged particle. For example, when phos-phorous-32 (32P) beta particles interact with certain mate-rials, for example, lead, significant external bremsstrahl-ung radiation fields can be generated.
Answer:
Alpha and beta emitter material is stored in a lead metal container.
Explanation:
Pig in Lead, Known as "Pigs" in the industry, is the lead storage container for radioactive material, The container was constructed for the containment of nuclear material and is made of solid cast lead. Store radioactive samples, such as uranium ore, in a secure location. Solid 1/2" lead metal makes up the wall thickness.
The strategy must include a lockbox, lockable refrigerator/freezer, or sealed lab to guarantee the safe and secure storage of radioactive materials. All radioactive solutions need to be clearly labeled with the isotope, activity, and date.
There are three types of potential radiation hazards that should be taken into account when developing strategies to store radioactive minerals:
- External alpha, beta, and gamma radiation exposure;
- contamination from radioactive particulate material;
- the main worry in a storage setting is radon gas emission.
