What You Need to Know About Radiation Therapy‚ Teen WHAT IS RADIATION THERAPY? Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses high-energy waves of radiation to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors. These waves are like fast-moving X-rays. The rays are strong enough to destroy unhealthy cells. In radiation therapy‚ the radiation may be delivered from outside your body or from a source of radiation that is put inside your body. External radiation is usually used‚ though you may have both

Nuclear engineering is the practical application of the breakdown of atomic nuclei and/or other sub-atomic physics‚ based on the principles of nuclear physics. It includes‚ but is not limited to‚ the interaction and maintenance of nuclear fission systems and components specifically‚ nuclear reactors‚ nuclear power plants‚ and/or nuclear weapons. The field may also include the study of nuclear fusion‚ medical and other applications of (generally ionizing) radiation‚ nuclear safety‚ heat/thermodynamics

chemical symbol identifies the element it is redundant to include the atomic number‚ so it is rarely used. Carbon-14‚ therefore‚ would be written as 14C or C-l4. Unit of Radiation Energy The electron volt (eV) is an extremely small unit and is equal to only 1.6 X 10-12 ergs. It is only used in radiation safety to express radiation energy. The electron volt is such a small unit that it is usually written as mega- or kilo- electron volts which is a million electron volts (MeV) or a thousand electron

1) When will profits reported under variable and absorption costing differ? How can we reconcile the profits reported under the two approaches? Profits reported under variable and absorption costing will differ when inventory increases or decreases during the year. The difference involves the timing with which fixed manufacturing overhead becomes an expense. Under variable costing‚ fixed overhead is expensed immediately as it is incurred. Under absorption costing‚ fixed overhead is inventoried
