Sinokuzikhusela njani

Zeziphi ezona ntlobo zixhaphakileyo zokubola kweradioactive?Sinokuzikhusela njani kwimiphumo eyingozi ebangelwa yimitha yemitha?

Kuxhomekeka kuhlobo lwamasuntswana okanye amaza akhutshwa yinucleus ukuze izinze, kukho iintlobo ngeentlobo zokubola kweradioactive ekhokelela kwimitha ye-ionizing.Ezona ntlobo zixhaphakileyo ngamasuntswana e-alpha, amasuntswana e-beta, imitha ye-gamma kunye ne-neutron.

Alpha radiation

Sinokuzikhusela njani1

Ukubola kweAlpha (Infographic: A. Vargas/IAEA).

Kwimitha ye-alpha, i-nuclei ebolileyo ikhupha amasuntswana anzima, ahlanjwe kakuhle ukuze azinze ngakumbi.La masuntswana akakwazi ukungena eluswini lwethu ukuze enze umonakalo yaye ngokufuthi anokumiswa ngokusebenzisa kwanephepha elinye.

Nangona kunjalo, ukuba izinto ze-alpha-emitting zithathwa emzimbeni ngokuphefumla, ukutya, okanye ukusela, zinokuveza izicubu zangaphakathi ngokuthe ngqo kwaye zingonakalisa impilo.

I-Americium-241 ngumzekelo we-athomu ebola ngamasuntswana e-alpha, kwaye isetyenziswa kwizichongi zomsi kwihlabathi liphela.

Imitha yeBeta

Singazikhusela njani2

Ukubola kweBeta (Infographic: A. Vargas/IAEA).

Kwimitha ye-beta, i-nuclei ikhupha amasuntswana amancinci (i-electron) angena ngaphezu kwamasuntswana e-alpha kwaye angadlula umz., i-1-2 yeesentimitha zamanzi, ngokuxhomekeke kumandla azo.Ngokubanzi, icwecwe le-aluminiyam elineemilimitha ezimbalwa ubungqingqwa linokumisa imitha ye-beta.

Ezinye zeeathom ezingazinzanga ezikhupha imitha ye-beta ziquka i-hydrogen-3 (tritium) kunye ne-carbon-14.I-Tritium isetyenziswa, phakathi kwezinye, kwizibane zikaxakeka umzekelo ukuphawula ukuphuma ebumnyameni.Oku kungenxa yokuba imitha ye-beta evela kwi-tritium ibangela ukuba imathiriyeli yephosphor ikhazimle xa iradiation idibana, ngaphandle kombane.I-Carbon-14 isetyenziselwa, umzekelo, izinto zemihla yexesha elidlulileyo.

Imitha yeGamma

Singazikhusela njani3

Imitha yeGamma (Infographic: A. Vargas/IAEA).

Imitha yeGamma, enokusetyenziswa ngeendlela ezahlukahlukeneyo, njengokunyanga umhlaza, yimitha yemagnethi yombane, efana neX-reyi.Eminye imitha yegamma idlula kanye emzimbeni womntu ngaphandle kokwenza umonakalo, ngoxa eminye ifunxwa ngumzimba ize ibangele umonakalo.Ubunzulu bemitha ye-gamma bunokuncitshiswa ukuya kumanqanaba abeka umngcipheko omncinci ngeendonga ezishinyeneyo zekhonkrithi okanye ilothe.Yiyo loo nto iindonga zamagumbi onyango lweradiotherapy kwizibhedlele zabaguli abanomhlaza zingqindilili.

Iineutron

Singazikhusela njani4

I-nuclear fission ngaphakathi kwireactor yenyukliya ngumzekelo wokusabela kwetsheyina lokusasazeka kwemitha eligcinwe ziineutron (Umzobo: A. Vargas/IAEA).

I-Neutron ngamasuntswana amakhulu ngokwentelekiso yenye yezona zinto ziphambili kwinucleus.Abahlawuliswanga kwaye ngoko ke abavelisi ionization ngokuthe ngqo.Kodwa ukusebenzisana kwabo neeathom zento kunokukhokelela kwi-alpha-, i-beta-, i-gamma- okanye i-X-rays, ethi ke ibangele i-ionization.Iineutron ziyagqobhoza kwaye zinokumiswa kuphela yintaphane engqindilili yekonkile, amanzi okanye iparafini.

Iineutron zinokuveliswa ngeendlela ezininzi, umzekelo kwizixhobo zenyukliya okanye kwiintshukumo zenyukliya eziqalwa ngamasuntswana anamandla aphezulu kwimiqadi ye-accelerator.I-Neutron inokumela umthombo obalulekileyo wemitha ye-ionizing ngokungangqalanga.
