La radioactivité ne génère pas à proprement parler de nuisances puisqu'elle est indétectable par nos sens. Les seules nuisances (au sens de désagrément) que peuvent faire encourir les matières radioactives abandonnées sans précautions spéciales, ou au contraire de façon réfléchie et selon des procédures écrites réglementaires, sont les nuisances socio-économiques. En revanche, leur nocivité est liée aux doses qu'elles peuvent provoquer par irradiation externe ou par ingestion (doses équivalentes efficaces). 1, record 4, French, - dose%20%C3%A9quivalente%20efficace

The PCA [principal component analysis] was applied to the 240 weather variables for all days within the winter season from 1958/59 to 2000/2001 for 15 Canadian and 12 U.S. stations, producing an 18-component solution that explains 91% of the total variance in the original dataset.

It [the genetically significant dose] is therefore equivalent to the individual gonad dose weighted by the probability of the individual person procreating a child after the irradiation has occurred. In practice this weighting is done by multiplying the gonad dose by a "child expectancy factor", which depends on the sex and age of the individual and the birth statistics of the relevant population. 1, record 8, English, - child%20expectancy%20factor
