What is Understanding Ionising Radiation Basics about?
Ionising radiation comes in three forms: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha particles have two protons and two neutrons and are strongly ionising but have low penetration. Beta particles are electrons that are weakly ionising with low mass and medium penetration. Gamma rays are photons with no mass or charge that are very weakly ionising but can penetrate deeply. There are natural and artificial sources of ionising radiation. Naturally occurring sources include cosmic rays, food, rocks and buildings, and radon g
