MOSFETs and other Power Electronics used at altitude (and sometimes even when not at altitude) are subject to a number of high-energy neutron induced effects. These can include Single Event Burn Out, ...

Radioactive sources are important in cancer treatment and gamma radiography devices in industry and keeping them safe and secure is essential — from manufacture to disposal. The IAEA’s Guidance on the ...

Radioactive sources contain radioactive material of a particular radionuclide (an unstable form of an element emitting radiation), which can vary based on the application for which the source was ...

The Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant was built to turn that nuclear waste into glass; it started operating in October 2025. The history of the Hanford Site and the way the stored ...
