Ionising radiations (IR) occurs as either electromagnetic rays (such as X-rays and gamma rays) or particles (such as alpha and beta particles). IR occurs naturally (e.g. from the radioactive decay of ...

The radiation emitted from unstable nuclei is called ionising radiation because as it passes through matter it can dislodge outer electrons from atoms causing them to become ions. An unstable ...

The University has a clear policy and extensive guidance for working with ionising radiation. All radioactive sources, waste and workers are monitored, recorded and managed by Safety and Health ...
