Radiation Unit 3

Front 1

State the type of fuel used in nuclear reactors

Back 1

235U 239Pu are used as fuel

Front 2

Name the types of radiation emitted during the fission process

Back 2

Gamma Rays, Beta Particles, and neutrons

Front 3

State the ourpose of pirmary shielding and secondary shielding

Back 3

Primary- it reduces the gamma and neutron radiation from the core of the reactor
Secondary- it limits personnel exposure to both gamma and neutron radiaton from the reactor and its coolant system during reactore
