Terrestrial radiation

Physics; Nuclear & particle physics

The portion of natural radiation (background) that is emitted by naturally occurring radioactive materials in the Earth.

Hadron

Physics; Nuclear & particle physics

A particle with mass, made up of smaller units called quarks that are bound together. Protons and electrons are types of hadron.

Tracer

Physics; Nuclear & particle physics

A small amount of radioactive isotope introduced into a system in order to follow the behaviour of some component of that system.

Transition

Physics; Nuclear & particle physics

The process of changing from one state or style to another; change from one element to another due to the process of radioactive decay.

Uranium

Physics; Nuclear & particle physics

A naturally occurring radioactive element with the atomic number 92 and an atomic weight of approximately 238.

Transuranic

Physics; Nuclear & particle physics

Having an atomic number greater than 92; elements with atomic numbers higher than the atomic number for uranium (92).
