Sealed sources of radioactive material contained in a small volume (but not radioactively contaminated soils and bulk metals) in any one or more of the following conditions:An uncontrolled condition that requires removal to protect public health and safety from a radiological ...
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...

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 unit of electrical potential equal to 1000 volts.
A long, slender, zirconium metal tube containing pellets of fissionable material, which provide fuel for nuclear reactors. Fuel rods are assembled into bundles called fuel assemblies, which are loaded individually into the reactor core.
A nuclear reactor in which the coolant is a gas.
The theory and application of the principles and techniques involved in measuring and recording doses of ionizing radiation.
Undesirable radiological or chemical material (with a potentially harmful effect) that is either airborne or deposited in (or on the surface of) structures, objects, soil, water, or living organisms.
A unit of energy equivalent to 1,000 kilowatts of electricity used continuously for 1 hour.
Nuclear plant activities that are essential for the safe operation of the facility. These cornerstones are grouped under the categories of reactor safety, radiation safety, and safeguards.
The area in a nuclear power plant from which most of the plant's power production and emergency safety equipment can be operated by remote control.
An airtight door system that preserves the pressure integrity of the containment structure of a nuclear reactor, while allowing access to personnel and equipment.
