English

Subject field(s)
  • Electromagnetic Radiation
  • Radiation Protection
  • Occupational Health and Safety
CONT

Radioactivity that results from human activity is categorized as anthropogenic radiation. Anthropogenic radiation is generally a much smaller contributor to radiation exposure than natural sources.

OBS

Sources of anthropogenic radiation include nuclear weapon testing that was conducted between 1945 and 1980, the regular operation of nuclear reactors(including supporting activities such as mining, milling and fuel fabrication), and nuclear power plant accidents(such as the accidents in Chernobyl, Ukraine, in 1986 and in Fukushima Daiichi, Japan, in 2011).

Domaine(s)
  • Rayonnements électromagnétiques
  • Radioprotection
  • Santé et sécurité au travail
CONT

La radioactivité qui résulte de l'activité humaine est classée dans la catégorie des rayonnements d'origine anthropique. En général, les rayonnements d'origine anthropique contribuent beaucoup moins à la radio-exposition que ceux provenant de sources naturelles.

OBS

Les sources de rayonnements anthropiques incluent les essais d'armes nucléaires qui ont été menés entre 1945 et 1980, l'exploitation normale des centrales nucléaires (y compris les activités de soutien telles que l'extraction, la concentration et la fabrication du combustible), ainsi que les accidents nucléaires comme ceux survenus à Tchernobyl, en Ukraine, en 1986 et à Fukushima Daiichi, au Japon, en 2011.

DEF

A plant for the fabrication of fuel elements or other parts containing nuclear material.

CONT

Fuel Fabrication facility. The UO2 powder ... is used to manufacture fuel bundles for the CANDU reactors ... The manufacturing process involves a series of operations: the powder is formed into small pellets; sets of pellets are loaded into zircaloy tubes; each tube is capped and sealed by welding; and finally, the completed tubes are assembled into bundles.

OBS

In the safeguards field, the term [fuel fabrication plant] may include the storage facilities and analytical departments of the plant.

OBS

fuel fabrication plant: term standardized by ISO.

DEF

Installation pour la fabrication d'éléments combustibles ou d'autres produits contenant des matières nucléaires.

CONT

Usines de fabrication de combustibles. La poudre de bioxyde d'uranium [...] sert [...] pour fabriquer les grappes de combustible des réacteurs CANDU [...] La fabrication comporte plusieurs stades : la poudre est d'abord comprimée en pastilles qui sont regroupées et placées dans des tubes de zircaloy qui sont ensuite fermés et soudés hermétiquement avant d'être assemblés en grappe.

OBS

Dans le domaine des garanties, ce terme [installation de fabrication de combustible] peut couvrir le stockage et les services d'analyse de l'installation.

OBS

installation de fabrication de combustible : terme normalisé par l'ISO.
