RADIATION
Effects of Radiation
Effect of Radiation
REM (roentgen equivalent in man)- this is a unit
we use to measure radiation dosage.
We use this measurement to determine what levels of
radiation are safe or dangerous for human tissue.
It is the product of the absorbed dose in rads and a
weighting factor (WR), which accounts for how
effective the radiation is in causing biological damage.
Effect of Radiation
A sudden, short dose of up to 50 rem will probably
cause no problems, except for some blood changes.
50 to 200 rem there may be illness, but fatalities are
highly unlikely.
A dose of between 200 and 1,000 will most likely
cause serious illness - the nearer the 1,000 it is, the
poorer the outlook for the human will be.
Any dose over 1,000 will typically cause death.
Anti-nuclear movement
2000s
Despite never having been commissioned,
the plant has remained intact, including the
nuclear reactor, and has continued to be
maintained.
The Philippine government completed paying
off its obligations on the plant in April 2007,
more than 30 years after construction began.
On February 1, 2010,
NAPOCOR started evaluating the financial
plan ofKorea Electric Power Corporation
(KEPCO), assessing that it may cost US$1
billion to rehabilitate the nuclear plant.[7]
In May 2011,
it was announced that the plant
would be turned into a tourist
attraction.
The Chernobyl Nuclear Plant utilized one large, open turbine hall
for all four reactors without any separating walls. Each reactor
had two turbines.
2013 collapse
On February 13, 2013, a 600-square-metre (6,500-squarefoot) portion of the roof and wall adjacent to the covered
part of the turbine hall collapsed into the entombed area
of the turbine hall.
The collapse did not affect any other part of the
Object Shelteror theNew Safe Confinement. No
variances in radiation levels as a result of the incident
were detected.
Decommissioning
In January 2008, the Ukraine
government announced a four-stage
decommissioning plan which
incorporated the above waste activities
and progresses towards a cleared site.
