The main structures making up the nucleus are the nuclear envelope, a double membrane that encloses the entire organelle and unifies its contents from the cellular cytoplasm, and the nucleoskeleton ( which includes nuclear lamina ), a meshwork within the nucleus that adds mechanical support, much like the cytoskeleton, which supports the cell as a whole.

Since man-made sources accounted for only 18 % of the total radiation exposure, most of which came from natural sources ( 82 %), medical X-rays only accounted for 10 % of total American radiation exposure ; medical procedures as a whole ( including nuclear medicine ) accounted for 14 % of total radiation exposure.

Such is most of typical total dosage ( with mean annual exposure from other sources amounting to 0. 4 mSv from cosmic rays, 0. 007 mSv from the legacy of past atmospheric nuclear testing along with the Chernobyl disaster, 0. 0002 mSv from the nuclear fuel cycle, and, averaged over the whole populace, 0. 6 mSv medical tests and 0. 005 mSv occupational exposure ).

In a defence debate in March 1970, he claimed that " the whole theory of the tactical nuclear weapon, or the tactical use of nuclear weapons, is an unmitigated absurdity " and that it was " remotely improbable " that any group of nations engaged in war would " decide upon general and mutual suicide ", and advocated enlargement of Britain's continental army.

Tlingit people as a whole participate in the commercial economy of Alaska, and as a consequence live in typically American nuclear family households with private ownership of housing and land.

The initial results were confusing because the unknown substance the British Museum had found across the whole map, effectively ignored by later researchers who were concentrating on the ink, turned out to be trapping tiny traces of fallout deep within the parchment from 1950s nuclear tests.

The diagram depicts the removal of the donor nucleus for schematic purposes ; in practice usually the whole donor cell is transferred. In genetics and developmental biology, somatic-cell nuclear transfer ( SCNT ) is a laboratory technique for creating a clone embryo with a donor nucleus ( see process below ).

No morphological synapomorphies have been found that uniquely unite Metaves ( or Caprimulgiformes for that matter ), but numerous unlinked nuclear genes independently support their monophyly either in majority or whole.

Soddy wrote in popular magazines that radioactivity was a potentially “ inexhaustible ” source of energy, and offered a vision of an atomic future where it would be possible to “ transform a desert continent, thaw the frozen poles, and make the whole earth one smiling Garden of Eden .” The promise of an “ atomic age ,” with nuclear energy as the global, utopian technology for the satisfaction of human needs, has been a recurring theme ever since.

Chelyabinsk has had a long association ( since the 1940s ) with top-secret nuclear research, though this is more properly applicable to Chelyabinsk Oblast as a whole, as nuclear facilities such as Chelyabinsk-70 ( Snezhinsk ) are, or were, located far outside the city.

The Kola Peninsula as a whole suffered major ecological damage, mostly as a result of pollution from the military ( particularly naval ) production, industrial mining of apatite, and military nuclear waste.

This helped spark renewed interest in the whole field of muon-catalyzed fusion, which remains an active area of research worldwide among those who continue to be fascinated and intrigued ( and frustrated ) by this tantalizing approach to controllable nuclear fusion that almost works.

He first thought that he should " put the whole thing out of my mind ", but with the rise of Nazi Germany he continued because he thought the only way to prevent Nazi Germany from using a nuclear bomb was if Britain had one to act as a deterrent.

In addition, there are nuclear medicine studies that allow imaging of the whole body based on certain cellular receptors or functions.

As a result it opened up whole new areas of science that had not been possible before: Radiation therapy for treating cancer, neutron scattering for researching advances in materials from steel to semiconductors, production of radioisotopes for medical purposes, and R & D essential for the birth of nuclear power: generating electricity from a nuclear reaction.

Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ), nuclear magnetic resonance imaging ( NMRI ), or magnetic resonance tomography ( MRT ) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize internal structures of the body in detail.

MRI makes use of the property of nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body.

Nanodevices could be observed at work inside the body using MRI, especially if their components were manufactured using mostly < sup > 13 </ sup > C atoms rather than the natural < sup > 12 </ sup > C isotope of carbon, since < sup > 13 </ sup > C has a nonzero nuclear magnetic moment.

were more sober, and gave details of the effects of nuclear weapons on the human body and mind.

However, the hippocampus is anatomically connected to parts of the brain that are involved with emotional behavior — the septum, the hypothalamic mammillary body, and the anterior nuclear complex in the thalamus so its role as a limbic structure cannot be completely dismissed.

Thus in a fraction of the nuclear events ( the recoil-free fraction, given by the Lamb – Mössbauer factor ), the entire crystal acts as the recoiling body, and these events are essentially recoil-free.

Increased volcanic eruptions, for example, increase the amount of dust in the atmosphere, lowering global temperature ; earthquakes in a body of water may produce tsunamis ; and the shortage of nuclear fuel for a nuclear power-dependent civilization may potentially trigger nuclear war.

** For example, nuclear magnetic resonance ( often referred to as magnetic resonance imaging to avoid the common concerns about radiation ), uses the phenomenon of nuclear resonance to image the human body.

Among its principles, it bars States Parties to the Treaty from placing nuclear weapons or any other weapons of mass destruction in orbit of Earth, installing them on the Moon or any other celestial body, or to otherwise station them in outer space.

A magnetic resonance imaging instrument ( MRI scanner ), or " nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) imaging " scanner as it was originally known, uses powerful magnets to polarise and excite hydrogen nuclei ( single proton ) in water molecules in human tissue, producing a detectable signal which is spatially encoded, resulting in images of the body.

In the early 1980s, using technology developed for the aerospace and nuclear industries, German car makers started complex computer crash simulation studies, using finite element methods simulating the crash behaviour of individual car body components, component assemblies, and quarter and half cars at the body in white ( BIW ) stage.

Nuclear Suppliers Group ( NSG ) is a multinational body concerned with reducing nuclear proliferation by controlling the export and re-transfer of materials that may be applicable to nuclear weapon development and by improving safeguards and protection on existing materials.

This change separates the CAEA, which is a regulatory body, from the CNNC which is principally interested in promoting nuclear exports and the development of China's nuclear industry.
