Radiation Explained Alpha Beta Gamma 1960s Mr Wizard

Uploaded by markdcatlin on Sep 24, 2008
This is clipped from the early 1960s film, Everyday Radioactivity, produced by Mr. Wizard, Don Herbert, showman-science teacher famous for his Watch Mr. Wizard programs, which ran on NBC from 1951 to 1965. ) . A wonderful resource for a look at the history of radiation is the Health Physics Museum at http://www.orau.org/ptp/museumdirectory.htm . The museum is operated by the Oak Ridge Associated Universities, offers a wide range of technical and regulatory information. The museum has a very large inventory of instruments and radiation related items, including descriptions and photographs, that date back to the Manhattan Project. However, it also offers an extensive Health Physics Resources page with information and links to answer the full range of radiation related questions. Another good source of information on radiation is the website (and downloadable book) Radiation, People and the Environment (http://www.iaea.org/Publications/Booklets/RadPeopleEnv/intro.html ) provides a comprehensive look at ionizing radiation. Produced by the IAEA in close co-operation with the UK National Radiological Protection Board, this provides a broad overview on the subject of ionizing radiation, its effects and uses, as well as the measures in place to ensure it can be used safely. The entire film, Everyday Radioactivity, is available at the Internet Archives.
