    Topic 9 – Radioactivity & Nuclear Decay

    Chapter 9A/1 – Nuclear Radiation

    Background Radiation
    Background radiation is a
    measure of the level of ionizing
    radiation present in the
    environment at a particular
    location which is not due to
    deliberate introduction of
    radiation sources.
    Background radiation originates
    from a variety of sources, both
    natural and artificial.
