In radioactive Î± decay, a nucleus with Z protons and a total of A nucleons decays to a lower energy. state with (Z-2, A-4) by emission of an âÎ± particleâ, a tightly bound nuclear fragment comprising 2. protons and 2 neutrons.
Insurance underwriters must achieve a balance between risky and cautious decisions. If underwriters allow too much risk, the insurance company will pay out too many claims. But if they don't approve enough applications, the company will not make enough money from premiums. Most insurance underwriters specialize in one of three broad fields: life, health, and property and casualty.
Insurance underwriters typically work in an insurance company and must have strong accounting and statistical analysis skills. The underwriter may be asked to assess insurance companies' policy decisions that are outside the role or capability of field agents. They assess risk and either accept, reject, or modify potential policy applications.
