J. Ernest Wilkins Jr.
An African America, the youngest student in the University of Chicago at the age of 13, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the age of 19 – that is the genius of Jesse Ernest Wilkins Jr. His work on Multi Variable Calculus, Algebra, Nuclear Physics, and Engineering, have created and contributed extraordinary systems, not only in the fat man and a little boy nuclear explosions, but also in using nuclear energy for the generation of electricity as well Gamma-Ray protection. Unfortunately, he was an African-American, and it impacted him all his ...

I. Natural Radioactivity

Radioactivity is a natural phenomenon occurring in isotopes of elements with atomic numbers 20 and higher. This takes place in isotopes of elements with unstable atomic nuclei. Radiation-emitting isotopes are called radioisotopes. When an atom has an unstable nucleus, the number of protons and neutrons are not balanced and there are either too many protons or there are too few of it. This imbalance causes the nuclei to spontaneously decompose to form a more stable nucleus. During this process, energy or particles are released and this is known as radiation.
There are three types of radiation. These are either in ...

Introduction

Radiation is best described as energy which is passing through space or a medium (Khan 2010). There are two categories of radiation; non-ionizing and ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation is important in the life systems and can be exemplified by heat, visible light, or radio waves; however, overexposure may be toxic. Ionizing radiation is the one commonly implied whenever the term radiation is used. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to change atoms which may result in changes in cell molecules leading to alterations within the cells and thus cell damage. Radiation is measured by the unit, rem, which is ‘roentgen equivalent ...
