| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| råd i miljøvernspørsmål | environmental protection advice (Consultations or recommendations given as a guide of action regarding the preservation of ecological integrity and the defense or shelter of natural resources) | |
| radar | radar (A system using beamed and reflected radiofrequency energy for detecting and locating objects, measuring distance or altitude, navigating, homing, bombing and other purposes) | |
| Rådet for Den europeiske union | EU Council (The Council of the European Union is an institution which exercises legislative and decision-making powers. At the same time, it is the forum in which the representatives of the Governments of the 15 Member States can assert their interests and try to reach compromises. The Council ensures general coordination of the activities of the European Community, the main objective of which is the establishment of an internal market, i.e. an area without internal frontiers guaranteeing four freedoms of movement - for goods, persons, services and capital - to which should soon be added a single currency. In addition, the Council is responsible for intergovernmental cooperation, in common foreign and security policy (CFSP) and in the areas of justice and home affairs (JHA), including for example matters of immigration and asylum, combating terrorism and drugs and judicial cooperation) | |
| rådgivning | consultancy (The position or practice of a qualified person paid for advice or services) | |
| radio | radio (The process, equipment or programming involved in transmitting and receiving sound signals by electromagnetic waves) | |
| radioaktiv dekontaminering | radioactive decontamination (The removal of radioactive contamination which is deposited on surfaces or may have spread throughout a work area. Personnel decontamination is also included. Decontamination methods follow two broad avenues of attack, mechanical and chemical) | |
| radioaktiv kontaminering | radioactive contamination (Contamination of a substance, living organism or site caused by radioactive material) | |
| radioaktiv sporingsteknikk | radioactive tracer technique | |
| radioaktivitet | 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) | |
| radioaktivt avfall | radioactive waste (Any waste that emit radiation in excess of normal background level, including the toxic by-products of the nuclear energy industry) | |
| radioaktivt avfallsdeponi | radioactive dumping (Waste generated by the emission of particulate or electromagnetic radiation resulting from the decay of the nuclei of unstable elements) | |
| radioaktivt nedfall | radioactive fallout (The material that descends to the earth or water well beyond the site of a surface or subsurface nuclear explosion) | |
| radioaktivt sporstoff | 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) | |
| radioaktivt stoff | radioelement (An element that is naturally radioactive) | |
| radioaktivt stoff | 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) | |
| radioaktivt utslipp | radioactive emission (The release of radioactive substances into the environment deriving from nuclear installations and from mining, purification and enrichment operations of radioactive elements) | |
| radionuklide | radionuclide (A nuclide that exhibits radioactivity) | |
| radioprogram | radio programme (A performance or production transmitted in sound signals with electromagnetic waves) | |
| radon | 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) | |
| raffineri | refinery (A factory for the purification of some crude material such as ore, sugar, oil, etc.) |
