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).

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.
