One, medical, such as radiation therapy for cancer with medical equipment;
Two, agriculture, in order to speed up the breeding cycle, the need for radioactive sources of irradiation in order to screen the good seed;
Three, industrial, industrial radioactive sources of the largest number of detecting the flaws, the principle of the flaw detector is the use of radioactivity to find the inherent cracks or bubbles in industrial products, and can also be used to modify the nature of the material.
In addition, it can also be used to modify the nature of the material.
Generally speaking, civilian radioactive sources in use will not cause harm to the human public, the material irradiated by radioactive sources in the treated material is also generally not radioactive.
But the use and storage of radioactive sources have strict requirements, because in the use of radioactive sources of machinery and equipment in the security of radiation protection measures, but once the radioactive sources leave the radiation protection facilities, will inevitably bring great threat to the safety of people's lives and property. Now many have radioactive sources of the unit security measures are not in place, resulting in a large number of radioactive sources lost, harmful ah!
