Q: A beam of nuclei is used for cancer therapy. Each nucleus has an energy of 183 MeV, and the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of this type of radiation is 16. The beam is directed onto a 0.220-kg tumor, which receives a biologically equivalent dose of 153 rem.
Uses. Zirconium is used in a number of industrial applications because it is so resistant to corrosion. It is used in pumps and valves and the cores of nuclear reactors. Zirconium oxide is used to make laboratory crucibles and to line furnaces.nother feature of zirconium is that it does not absorb neutrons (unlike hafnium, which absorbs neutrons, and is also found in zirconium deposits). This makes it useful in nuclear applications, where it is used as fuel cladding in nuclear reactors, and as a coating on nuclear fuel parts.
