A Glossary of Certain Terms Needed by the Non-Specialist [Student of Nuclear Disasters] Nuclear Disaster in the Urals Zhores A. Medvedev / Translated by George Saunders / Vintage Books NY 1979 Beta Radiation: streams of beta particles emitted by radioactive isotopes. Among the most common isotopes giving off beta radiation are radioactive carbon (C ), radioactive phosphorus (Pas), radioactive strontium (Sr ), and radioactive sulfur (S ). Beta rays are essentially electrons traveling at high velocity, but the energy of beta particles is not so high as to allow them to penetrate very far into solid material. Even relatively thin layers of protective material are sufficient to stop beta rays. Living tissue may be penetrated by beta particles for small distances, varying from several millimeters to a-3 centimeters, rarely as far as 5-8 centimeters. Gamma Radiation: shortwave electromagnetic radiation consisting of high-energy photones emitted at the speed of light by the nuclei of certain radioactive isotopes, in addition to the emission of beta or alpha particles. Because of the high energy involved, the exposure of living tissue to gamma rays causes severe harm to internal organs. Protection against gamma rays is provided by thick layers of concrete, lead, or other materials. Isotopes that give off gamma rays include cobalt-6o (Co ), iodine-130 and -131 (J

CRITICALITY ACCIDENT AT A TOKAI URANIUM CONVERSION FACILITY Tokyo Physicians for the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons On the afternoon of September 30, 1999, three workers of a uranium-processing facility were reported to have been hospitalized on account of critical injury through acute radiation. At the same time, an atmospheric radiation count monitored in Tokai-mura was announced to be 0.84 mSv/hour (more than 10,000 times the normal amount). Since we had been anxious about Japan's risky nuclear technology, we could not help feeling scared when we realized that the nuclear criticality had taken place where it should not have occurred. Does this accident mean there existed something beyond the theory of modern nuclear physics? Nuclear technology was developed with the theoretical calculation of critical mass of uranium235 by R.Peierls in 1941. It resulted in the practical way to produce atomic bombs. Therefore, the concept of uranium235 critical mass is one of the basics for all the facilities, organizations, scientists and engineers involved in the nuclear industry. Uranium criticality should not be allowed to take place anywhere other than nuclear reactors. The only exception where criticality is intentionally produced is a nuclear warhead.
