The majority of the population continues associating the terms “radiation” and “nuclear” with negative aspects and imminent danger. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate the potentialities of nuclear sciences and techniques and in what form radiations can be put into service of society. The benefits for society associated with the use of radiation ionizing largely …
