Reducir los riesgos asociados a la radiación

The video tutorial covers the applications of radioactive substances in medicine and nuclear power generation. It explains the need for radiation detection devices like kaiger counters, which use Müller tubes to measure radioactive particles. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of safety measures, such as protective clothing and radiation shields, to minimize exposure risks. It also highlights the use of photographic film to monitor radiation levels and the necessity of identifying radioactive materials with hazard symbols.

What is one of the primary uses of radioactive substances in the medical field?

• Generating electricity

• Producing XY-rays for cancer treatment

• Detecting natural gas

• Creating photographic film

Why is it necessary for workers handling radioactive substances to take special precautions?

• Because radiation can be easily detected by smell

• Because radiation is colorful

• Because radiation is invisible and undetectable by human senses

• Because radiation is harmless

What is the primary function of a Geiger counter?

• To generate electricity

• To measure the number of radioactive particles

• To produce XY-rays

• To create a photographic film

How do nuclear plant workers monitor their exposure to radiation over time?

• By tasting the water

• By smelling the air

• By wearing a piece of film that measures radiation

• By using a Geiger counter

What is one method used to reduce contact with radioactive materials?

• Tasting the air for radiation

• Listening for radiation sounds

• Wearing colorful clothing
