Radiographic film on the opposite side of the source is exposed when it is struck by radiation passing through the objects being tested. More radiation will pass through if there are cracks, breaks, or other flaws in the metal parts and will be recorded on the film. By studying the film, structural problems can be detected. Co-60 is used because it is an emitter of gamma rays which will penetrate metal parts. Co-60 has a half-life of 5.3 years and can be used in a chemically inert form held inside a sealed container.
Sometimes in binary systems, mass flows into a hot accretion disk around the neutron star and causes the emission of x rays. 14. Astronomers have found compacted objects

The arrangement of particles in an atom Protons and neutrons make up the main, dense, central nucleus in the centre of the atom. This is surrounded by electrons “orbiting” the main nucleus. The electron are in shells depending on their energy levels, as the most energetic are on the outer shells, because they need more energy to travel around a bigger “orbit” of the nucleus. These shells are full when a certain amount of atoms are in the shell; 2 in the first shell, 8 in the next shell, 8 in the third shell and so on. When the shells are full, the atom is unreactive.
INTRODUCTION TO NUCLEAR REACTION: The main features of nuclear reactions include radioactive decay, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Radioactive decay: Energy is released in a radioactive decay in the form of the kinetic energy of the particle emitted (α and β), the kinetic energy of the daughter nucleus and the energy of the gamma-ray photon that may accompany the decay. The energy involved may be calculated by finding the mass defect of the reaction. The energy released is the energy equivalent of the mass defect of the reaction. Nuclear fission: Nuclear fission is the process in which a large nucleus breaks into two smaller nuclei that are almost equal in mass.
This whole process is called a nuclear chain reaction. The reactor core generates heat as the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy. Gamma rays are produced during fission and absorbed by the reactor, where thermal energy is converted to heat. Heat produced by the radioactive decay of fission production remains in the reactor, sometime even if it shut down.
An optimised imaging modality would result from a combination of these properties. One such emerging technique that achieves this is Cherenkov Luminescence Imaging (CLI). CLI harnesses Cherenkov radiation to image radionuclides using OI instruments2. Cherenkov radiation is a well known phenomenon that arises when charged particles, such as β- or β+ travel through an optically transparent material with a velocity that exceeds the speed of light in the material. As the particle travels through the medium it loses kinetic energy by polarizing the electrons of the given material.
Carcinogens are a class of substances that are directly responsible for damaging DNA, promoting or aiding cancer. Tobacco, asbestos, arsenic, radiation such as gamma and x-rays, the sun, and
Suggestions for better intervention or policy | 10 | 8. Conclusion | 12 | 9. References | 13 | Abstract Our space is full of various types of natural or man manmade radiation like heavily charged particles and gamma rays, radon, cosmic radiation, etc. these radiations has tendency to produce biological effects and depending on their energy levels, health effects varies. With the progress in technology applications our exposure with electromagnetic fields, ionizing radiations goes on increasing the threshold limits.
