PREVENTING THE TRANSITION OF CORONA THROUGH SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY:GLOBALLY INTEGRATED SOCIETY TOWARDS POSITIVE CHANGE

The entire basis of science is technology, technology that facilitates us, it also cautions us how destructive it can be to use it wrongly. Such as Bhopal Gas Tragedy containing leakage of Methyl isocyanate or radiation from Japan’s atomic reactor due to Tsunami, it is an event that the slightest negligence of science or technology can lead to a major tragedy.Covid-19 is one such phenomenon, and it took a while to understand and it convert into form of a serious illness. The Pandemic Disease of the century, which is spreading its infection in the whole world, and is likely to be Seriously thought.

The Effect of High-Doze Neutron Irradiation on Texture and Substructure Condition of Cladding Tubes from Zr-Based Alloys

Texture and substructure changes in cladding tubes from Zr-based alloys under neutron irradiation in the atomic reactor during 6 years were investigated by use of X-ray methods. For this aim in the “hot” laboratory the automated X-ray diffractometer was set and the technique to handle with irradiated samples was elaborated. The residual radiation activity of samples correlates with integral texture Kearns parameters of tube, so that the texture weakens as the doze of neutron irradiation grows. Because of the initial substructure inhomogeneity of cladding tubes its changes under neutron irradiation are also inhomogeneous: relatively perfect grains of texture maxima become more distorted, whereas initially distorted grains of texture minima becomes more perfect.

Low dose ionizing radiation induced acoustic neuroma: A putative link?

Although exposure to high dose ionizing radiation (following therapeutic radiotherapy) has been incriminated in the pathogenesis of many brain tumors, exposure to chronic low dose ionizing radiation has not yet been shown to be associated with tumorigenesis. The authors report a case of a 50-year-old atomic reactor scientist who received a cumulative dose of 78.9 mSv over a 10-year period and was detected to have an acoustic neuroma another 15 years later. Although there is no proof that exposure to ionizing radiation was the cause for the development of the acoustic neuroma, this case highlights the need for extended follow-up periods following exposure to low dose ionizing radiation.
