Modeling of Radiation Effects on the Chemical Durability of Nuclear Waste Forms (Leaching, Radioactive Glass Damage)
… level nuclear waste, the long-term effects of radiation on chemical durability are attributed to the accumulation of atomic displacements; the latter are caused mainly by the recoiling nuclei, or (alpha)-recoils, accompanying the emission of (alpha)-particles resulting from the presence of …

Effects of Therapeutic Radiation on Polymeric Scaffolds
High levels of ionizing radiation are known to cause degradation and/or cross-linking in polymers. Lower levels of ionizing radiation, such as x-rays, are commonly used in the treatment of cancers. Material characterization has not been fully explored for polymeric materials exposed to therapeutic …

Studying the Effect of Low Doses of Ionization Radiation on Senescence in Human Lung Fibroblasts.
The exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation (>5Gy) is unequivocally associated with increased cancer risk. However, there is substantial experimental evidence showing that in response to low doses of ionizing radiation (LDR: <100mGy), cells and organisms are benefitted with delayed ageing, …
