Terms for subject Environment (6716 entries)
radioactive fallout (The material that descends to the earth or water well beyond the site of a surface or subsurface nuclear explosion) "fallout" radjuattiv
radioactive pollutant (A substance undergoing spontaneous decay or disintegration of atomic nuclei and giving off radiant energy in the form of particles or waves, often associated with an explosion of a nuclear weapon or an accidental release from a nuclear power plant, holding facility or transporting container) kontaminant radjuattiv
radioactive substance (Any substance that contains one or more radionuclides of which the activity or the concentration cannot be disregarded as far as radiation protection is concerned) sostanza radjuattiva
radioactive tracer (A radioactive isotope which, when injected into a biological or physical system, can be traced by radiation detection devices, permitting determination of the distribution or location of the substance to which it is attached) traċċanti radjuattiv
radioactive tracer technique teknika ta' traċċanti radjuattiv
radioactive waste (Any waste that emit radiation in excess of normal background level, including the toxic by-products of the nuclear energy industry) skart radjuattiv
radioactive waste management (The total supervision of the production, handling, processing, storage and transport of materials that contain radioactive nuclides and for which use, reuse or recovery are impractical) ġestjoni tal-iskart radjuattiv
radioactive waste management maniġġjar ta' skart radjuattiv
radioactivity (The property possessed by some atomic nuclei of disintegrating spontaneously, with loss of energy through emission of a charged particle and/or gamma radiation) radjuattività
radioelement (An element that is naturally radioactive) radjuelement
radionuclide (A nuclide that exhibits radioactivity) radjonuklidi
radon (A radioactive gaseous element emitted naturally from rocks and minerals where radioactive elements are present. It is released in non-coal mines, e.g. tin, iron, fluorspar, uranium. Radon is an alpha particle emitter as are its decay products and has been indicted as a cause of excessive occurrence of lung cancer in uranium miners. Concern has been expressed at radon levels in some housing usually adjacent to granite rocks or old tin mining regions) radon
rag (Discarded textile waste, either post-consumer waste or pre-consumer waste, such as manufacturing process scraps) ċarruta
