GLOSSARY FOR THE ATOMI C AGE
Most Americans are familiar with
the words of the nuclear age, but the
layman who does not have the mean¬
ings firmly in mind may jump to er¬
roneous editors conclusions, Changing according to the
linger Magazine. of Times, the Kip
In the current issue of the magazine,
a copyrighted article includes the
scientific definitions for the following
more cl vocabulary: commonly used words of the nu
ears
Roentgen—or r unit—or simply r—
is the standard unit used to measure a
radiation dose.
A curie measures the radioactivity
given off by any given amount of an
element.
A megaton is energy yield equal to
that of a million tons of TNT. A kilo
ton is the yield equal to 1,000 tons of
TNT.
Natural background radiation is the
radiation from substances in the
earth’s crust, in water, in rocks and
cosmic rays. Everyone receives seven
to ten roentgens of radia-ion from
these sources over a lifetime.
Medical radiation comes from X
rays and fluoroseopes. The average
person gets about as much of this as
he does of background radiation.
Artificial radioactivity is any man¬
made radiation, whether from weapons
or waste from atomic energy plants
and uranium processing.
Fission is the process of splitting
the nucleus of an atom, releasing fis¬
sion energy and creating new ele¬
ments, most of which are radioactive.
Fusion is the process of bringing
atoms together with such force and
at such high temperatures that they
combine to make an atom of new ma¬
terial. This releases fusion energy and
creates fusion products, of which only
carbon 14 is significantly radioactive.
Residence time refers to the period
that such debris can be expected to re¬
main in the stratosphere after an ex¬
plosion—now thought to be one to five
years.
Decay or disintegration is the re¬
lease of energy—alpha, beta or gamma
rays—by a radioactive atom’s nu¬
cleus. It can occur in the air, on the
ground, or in the body.
Half life is the length of time re¬
quited for half the atoms in a radio¬
active substance to decay. Ten half
lives is the time it takes for 99.9%
disintegration.
Strontium 90 is a bone-seeking ele¬
ment w'ith a half life of 28 years and
ten half lives of 280 years.
Strontium unit, or S. U., represents
one micro microcurie (a millionth, of a
millionth of a curie) of strontium 90
radioactivity per gram of calcium in
food and bones.
Cesium 137, which emits gamma
rays, is a potential genetic hazard.
Half life, 30 years; ten half lives, 300
years.
Carbon 14 is an extremely long
lived and dangerous substance with a
half life of 5,600 years.
Iodine 131, though short-lived (half
life about 8 days and ten half lives 80
days) concentrates in the thyroid and
can cause cancer in that gland, par¬
ticularly among children.
