What is the primary reason for exposure control on the nuclear battlefield? D. To maintain the combat effectiveness of personnel. D. 3. Which is defined as the absorbed cumulative radiation dose? A.
 Should only be used if heat treatment is impractical or harmful to the material.  STERILANT: chemical disinfectant that kills bact. spores ( usually takes long exposure time) called ‘High Level Disinfection”.  Outcome is affected by the  Presence of organic matter (Bioburden)  Type & Level of microbial contamination  Disinfection concentration  Exposure time  Physical structure of the object  Temperature & pH of the process  ANTISEPTICS :  Chemicals used to kill microbes on skin or living tissue.  Must have effective antimicrobial activity.
The expansion of nuclear technology represents several related negative effects. On one level, additional nuclear technology usage means additional radioactive waste that must be managed. On the security level, the plutonium byproduct of some nuclear reactors can be used in manufacture of bombs, reports the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. The more plutonium that exists, the higher the risk that it can fall into the hands of militants, extremists or terrorists. Additionally, the uranium used in nuclear reactors undergoes an enrichment process to prepare it, but additional enrichment can generate weapons grade uranium.
There is nothing like one stop solution to Chemical attack, however there are few precautions which we can take during and after the chemical attack in order to prevent the effect of the chemical effect. Action plan during the attack The action plan during the attack could be summarized as • Identifying the impacted area (inside or outside the building)wherein the effect of chemical is there and take an immediate action and moving away and take a safe shelter. • Vacate the building affected by chemical and avoid passing through the contaminated area. • Symptoms like watering of eyes , hurtful skin and breathing problems are clear indicagtion that you are exposed to a chemical. • If you sense that you are exposed to a chemical, take out your
Nuclear waste is harmful to the environment and its inhabitants. Even though the nuclear power industry might oppose nuclear waste signage due to negative public opinion regarding management of nuclear waste, the parameters for storing nuclear waste are crucial for future generations. First, the parameters for storing nuclear waste are crucial for future generations because it is imperative to educate people on the importance of nuclear waste signage. The question is what type of signs would say, “stay away” to humans living 10,000 years from now? Exposure to high levels of radioactive waste can cause birth defects, cancer, and death.
Some isotopes of atoms, such as Cobalt 60, are natural sources of gamma radiation. X-ray machines and nuclear power reactors are also sources of gamma radiation. Radiation is of concern because, depending on its type, total amount, or rate of delivery, radiation can cause changes in the genetic material (DNA) within cells, or change the activities of cells. In very high doses, it kills cells directly. Radiation dosage is measured in rads.
2. Describe the different forms of radioactive decay. The different forms of radioactive decay consist of alpha, beta, and gamma decay. Alpha decay occurs when the nucleus has too many protons in it that need to be decreased. Beta decay occurs when the neutron to proton ratio is too great in the nucleus and causes instability.
The argument is usually the same: one side insists that if officials eradicated guns, thus abolishing the Second Amendment, gun violence will somehow go away. Contrarily, the pro- gun side argues that this invades our rights as humans to protect ourselves. It seems ironic that a debate about the morality of building and owning bombs doesn’t flare when a mass bombing kills dozens, sometimes hundreds. For the argument of fairness, one could suggest that purchasing the materials to build a bomb of any kind could be punishable by law regardless of knowing the intent of the individual. Just as a law abiding American citizen seeking to purchase a gun might potentially be prosecuted if the Second Amendment is dropped from the Constitution.
The first planned attack was to send 3,000 bombs and missiles out on the Iraqi people where civilians were among the population, unarmed and innocent. This went against the theory where “Civilians are never permissible targets of war and every effort must be taken to avoid killing civilians. The deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target.” It was clear that this was not the case. It has been argued that if the intent to go to Iraq was for a change in government, that it would be morally justified. If the sole reason for war was to capture Sadaam and his officials, this would then be unjust.
AIM/ OBJECTIVE In this experiment, bomb calorimetry will be used to determine the heat of combustion (heat that the fuel gives off over a certain amount of time when it’s ignited). Determine the Calorific Value of the fuel used and show how the practically determined value compares to the theoretical calculations and industry standards 2. THEORY A bomb calorimeter is a sealed container capable of holding several atmospheres of gas pressure. It measures the enthalpy of reaction by carrying out the combustion reaction under constant volume conditions. This exothermic reaction increases the temperature inside the bomb, which then transfers the energy to the external water jacket raising the external temperature.
