What is the relationship between the amount of radioactive material (radioiodine 131) transported and the amount of radiation released during transportation? • Nuclear radiation can be harmful • Important source of power, with downfalls • Maximize safety
Sources • 1. “Fission Product Transportation.” • Containment vessel properties and mass of iodine released • 2. "Moderation of Radioiodine From Containment Accidents." • Radioiodine 131 half life • 3. "Biological Effects of Radiation." • Radiation dosage effects • 4.

Calculations Spearman Test for correlation 0.96944800795022 Pearson’s correlation 0.965721510057638
Ideas & Improvements • Different radioactive components, instead of iodine • More data to be plotted on graph
