Abstract:
The aim of this research is to understand the radiation effects on the physical properties of the specific minerals and assess their susceptibility to radiation exposure. This research may contribute to improving the understanding of the effects resulting from radiation exposure and guiding the use of minerals in relevant nuclear and industrial applications. The objective is to investigate the radiation effects on five different minerals using the plot method. The main steps of the study include:
Selection of the five minerals to be studied. These minerals could include Iron, thorium, lead, calcite, and pyrite as examples. And exposing the mineral samples to a specific radiation source. Radiation sources such as cesium radiation or X-rays can be used. Also, Measuring the effects resulting from radiation exposure using the plot method. This involves plotting the impact curves for each mineral based on changes in their physical or chemical properties when exposed to radiation. Moreover, Analyzing the data extracted from the plots. This includes analyzing the increase or decrease in specific characteristics of the minerals based on the level of radiation exposure. Finally,
Assessing the radiation-induced effects on each mineral. The results are analyzed to evaluate the impact of radiation on the physical and chemical properties of each studied mineral.
