RADIATION CERTIFICATION

Radiation - physics, is energy in the form of waves or moving subatomic particles emitted by an atom or other body as it changes from a higher energy state to a lower energy state. It can be classified as ionizing or non-ionizing radiation, depending on its effect on atomic matter. The most common use of the word "radiation" refers to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules while non-ionizing radiation does not. Radioactive material is a physical material that emits ionizing radiation.

Three principal types of ionizing radiation: alpha, beta and gamma radiation. They are all emitted from the nucleus of an unstable atom and the above periodic table colored according to the radioactivity of the most stable isotope.

(1) stable elements.
(2) radioactive elements with isotopes with very long decay half-times. Their half-live of over a million years gives them very small, if not negligible radioactivities and thus may be handled without any precautions.
(3) radioactive elements that may present low health hazards. Their half-time of over 500 years allows them to have commercial applications due to the fact that their radiation levels are near the background one.
(4) radioactive elements that are known to pose high safety risks. Their half-life of over a day and their radioactivity levels make them have little potential for any commercial use.
(5) highly radioactive elements. Because of their half-time as low as a couple of minutes, they pose severe health risks and is unlikely that they will receive any use outside basic research.
(6) extremely radioactive elements.

At Alex Stewart Malaysia we are equipped to assist the industry to dealt with the complex regulations and documentations requirement for the charter / carriage.
