  5. Periodic Table

  6. Atom Structure • Atomic number • Mass number • Atomic weight

  7. Isotopes • Radiometric Dating • Tracers

  8. Chernobyl • April 26 1986 • extensive parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe, and eastern North America • Nearly thirty to forty times more fallout was released than had been by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki • Direct Deaths: 56

  9. Three Mile Island • March 28 1979 • partial core meltdown in Unit 2 of the nuclear power plant • release of a significant amount of radioactivity, an estimated 43,000 curies of radioactive krypton (1.59 PBq), but under 20 curies (740 GBq) of the particularly hazardous iodine-131, to the environment. • no deaths or injuries
