Exposure from terrestrial radiation. The composition of the earth's crust is a major source of natural radiation. The main contributors are natural deposits of uranium, potassium and thorium which, in the process of natural decay, will release small amounts of ionizing radiation.-rays: X-rays are a form of radiation similar to gamma radiation but they are produced mainly by artificial means rather than from radioactive substances. Neutron radiation: Neutron radiation occurs when neutrons are ejected from the nucleus by nuclear fission and other processes.
We are all exposed to natural radiation to a greater or lesser extent, and for most. 5Nuclear Energy in Everyday Life people it is the major source of radiation exposure. Background radiation is that which is naturally and inevitably present in our environment. Figure 3: Penetrating Power of RadiationFigure 4: Sources of natural radiation.
