Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Advantages and disadvantages of preserving food using radiation have to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Radiation used in preservation of food is ultraviolet rays, beta rays, gamma rays, X-rays and microwaves.
Food radiation is a process of exposing food to controlled levels of ionising radiation to kill harmful bacteria, pest etc.

Name the three key stages of the physicochemical changes produced in liquid water due to radiation. Briefly describe the three key stages.
When reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in Ukraine exploded at 1:23 p.m. on April 26, 1986, a great plume of radioactive isotopes erupted into the air and spread for thousands of miles. Most of the isotopes emitted immediately following the blast were of the element iodine. Which of the glands of the endocrine system would be most seriously—and immediately— affected by the blast, and how do you think this would become evident in the nearby population?
