Description

This second part of the documentation deals with the distribution and the effects of radionuclides in the human body, dose equivalent as a standard unit, effects of terrestrial radiation, radionuclides in articles of daily use, reduction of dose in radiology, radiation from nuclear power plant, uncertainty with regard to late radiation effects, effects of low dose. Four graphical representations explain: the environmental impact of reactor accidents, intercomparison of environmental impacts of various methods of electricity generation, engineered safety in KWU-design reactors, nuclear power plant construction activities in Europe.

Abstract (German)

Dies ist der zweite und letzte Teil einer Dokumentation ueber kuenstliche und natuerliche Radioaktivitaet. Er behandelt die Verteilung und Wirkung der Radionuklide im menschlichen Koerper, die Aequivalentdosis als Masseinheit, Wirkung der terrestrischen Strahlung, Radionuklide in Gebrauchsgegenstaenden, reduzierte Dosis bei Roentgenaufnahmen, Strahlung aus Kernkraftwerken, Unsicherheit bei Spaetschaeden, Wirkung kleiner Strahlendosen. In vier Grafiken wird dargestellt: Folgen fuer die Umgebung bei Reaktorunfaellen, Umweltbelastung, der Stromversorgung im Vergleich, Sicherheitstechnik bei KWU-Reaktoren, Ausbausituation der Kernkraftwerke in Europa.
