A thermal power plant, in which the energy (heat) released by the fissioning of nuclear fuel is used to boil water to produce steam. The steam spins the propeller-like blades of a turbine that turns the shaft of a generator to produce electricity. Of the various nuclear power ...

Energy given off by matter in the form of tiny, fast-moving particles (alpha particles, beta particles, and neutrons) or pulsating electromagnetic rays or waves (gamma rays) emitted from the nuclei of unstable radioactive atoms. All matter is composed of atoms, which are made ...
As new fuel shipping canisters arrive in the reactor building, the reactor building crane lifts them to the refueling floor, where the fuel is removed from the canister and inspected for defects. The fuel can then be stored either the new fuel storage area (which is dry...
One of the two units used to measure the amount of radiation absorbed by an object or person, known as the “absorbed dose,” which reflects the amount of energy that radioactive sources deposit in materials through which they pass. The radiation-absorbed dose (rad) is the amou...

The therapeutic use of ionizing radiation to treat disease in patients. Although most radiotherapy procedures are intended to kill cancerous tissue or reduce the size of a tumor, therapeutic doses may also be used to reduce pain or treat benign conditions. For example, interv...

Nuclear plant activity that affects most or all safety cornerstones. These include the problem identification and resolution, human performance, and "safety-conscious work environment."
The minimum energy required to separate the nucleus of an atom into its component neutrons and protons.
A colloquial term for corrosion and wear products (rust particles, etc.) that become radioactive (i.e., activated) when exposed to radiation.
The rate of disintegration (transformation) or decay of radioactive material per unit time. The units of activity (also known as radioactivity) are the curie (Ci) and the becquerel (Bq). For related information, see Measuring Radiation.
Anything that absorbs heat. It is usually part of the environment, such as the air, a river, or a lake.
The heat produced by the decay of radioactive fission products after a reactor has been shut down.
An elementary particle with a negative charge and a mass 1/1837 that of a proton. Electrons surround the positively charged nucleus of an atom, and determine its chemical properties.
An uncharged elementary particle, with a mass slightly greater than that of the proton, found in the nucleus of every atom heavier than hydrogen.
