Radiation: How to address the confusion Jill Anderson Washington Internships for Students of Engineering & The American Nuclear Society

Summary Background Conflicts and Concerns Policy Recommendations

Background- what radiation is Radiation is actually a form of energy Measuring radiation dose: the Sievert Where does radiation come from?

Background: where radiation comes from Sources of Radiation Exposure in the United States NCRP, 1987

Background: how we use radiation Uses of Radiation  Medical- x-rays, CT scans, PET scans, brachiotherapy.  Academic- carbon dating  Industry- nonstick cookware, wrinkle resistant fabric

Background: how we use radiation Uses  Food Irradiation- kills bacteria and prolongs shelf life  Security and safety- smoke detectors  Energy- nuclear power generates over 20% of our electricity

Background: government Regulations  NRC- commercial  EPA- soil, air water Current Policy  S. 1042, medical safety  H.R. 3228, NRC regulations

Conflicts and Concerns: what they are Nuclear Power Plants  Radiation emissions  TMI and Chernobyl  Terrorism Legitimate Concerns

Conflicts and Concerns: why Public Perception Dangers of an ill-informed public  Medical and food treatments  Unfounded terror

How to Address the Confusion Nuclear Power  Stringent regulations Medical Food

How to Address the Confusion Policy recommendations  Accuracy and adequacy of public education about radiation benefits and health risks through industry and regulatory involvement.
