ignition
when a fusion reaction produces enough energy to be self-sustaining after external energy input is cut off
inertial confinement
a technique that aims multiple lasers at tiny fuel pellets evaporating and crushing them to high density
linear hypothesis
assumption that risk is directly proportional to risk from high doses
liquid drop model
a model of nucleus (only to understand some of its features) in which nucleons in a nucleus act like atoms in a drop
low dose
a dose less than 100 mSv (10 rem)
magnetic confinement
a technique in which charged particles are trapped in a small region because of difficulty in crossing magnetic field lines
moderate dose
a dose from 0.1 Sv to 1 Sv (10 to 100 rem)
neutron-induced fission
fission that is initiated after the absorption of neutron
nuclear fission
reaction in which a nucleus splits
nuclear fusion
a reaction in which two nuclei are combined, or fused, to form a larger nucleus
positron emission tomography (PET)
tomography technique that uses β+β+ size 12{β rSup { size 8{+{}} } } {} emitters and detects the two annihilation γγ size 12{γ} {} rays, aiding in source localization
proton-proton cycle
the combined reactions 1H+1H→2H+e++ve, 1H+2H→3He+γ, and 3He+3He→4He+1H+1H
quality factor
same as relative biological effectiveness
rad
the ionizing energy deposited per kilogram of tissue
radiolytic products
compounds produced due to chemical reactions of free radicals
radiopharmaceutical
compound used for medical imaging
radiotherapy
the use of ionizing radiation to treat ailments
relative biological effectiveness (RBE)
a number that expresses the relative amount of damage that a fixed amount of ionizing radiation of a given type can inflict on biological tissues
roentgen equivalent man (rem)
a dose unit more closely related to effects in biological tissue
shielding
a technique to limit radiation exposure
sievert
the SI equivalent of the rem
single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT)
tomography performed with γγ size 12{γ} {}-emitting radiopharmaceuticals
supercriticality
an exponential increase in fissions
tagged
process of attaching a radioactive substance to a chemical compound
therapeutic ratio
the ratio of abnormal cells killed to normal cells killed
