Answer 2

Man-made radiation sources are classified into radionuclide radiation sources and generators of ionizing radiation.

Explanation:

• Mankind has created hundreds of artificial radionuclides and got mastered using atomic energy for both military and civil purposes for energy production, in health care.

• These activities increase exposure as individuals as well as the total Earth population.

• Individual doses of different people from man-made sources vary in a broad band.

• Generation of electricity and heat at NPP's and transport nuclear engines, and also by radionuclide sources spacecraft, autonomous power supply thermal sources.

• Small amounts of man-made background radiation attributes to consumer products like color television, smoke detectors, gas lantern mantles, natural gas heating and cooking fuel, and mining and agricultural products such as coal, granite, and potassium salt.
