RADIATION EFFECTS AND RADIATION PROTECTION

SUMMARY

Radiation that comes from nature and not from human activity are called natural radiation. Based on the source, the natural radiation are grouped into two types, ie cosmic radiation and radiation from radioactive materials is in the earth's crust. Cosmic radiation consists of primary cosmic radiation comes from outer space and into Earth's atmosphere, and cosmic radiation secondary interactions arising between the primary cosmic radiation with elements in space.
 

DESCRIPTION

Natural radiation is radiation that exists in nature in the form of cosmic radiation and radiatioN, derived from radioactive materials present in the earth's crust (radionuclideterrestrial). Radiation emitted from the nucleus due to the interaction between radiation, Cosmic with atomic nuclei in the earth's atmosphere (radionuclide kosmogenik) is the most common radiation. Here will be discussed radiation coming from cosmic radiation and from radionuclides terestriall.
