2. Radioactive contamination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_contamination

   Gamma radiation is eventually absorbed as it penetrates a dense material. Lead is good at absorbing gamma radiation, due to its density. The hazard from contamination is the emission of ionizing radiation. The principal radiations which will be encountered are alpha, beta and gamma, but these have quite different characteristics.

3. Radioactive waste - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste

   Short-term approaches to radioactive waste storage have been segregation and storage on the surface or near-surface of the earth. Burial in a deep geological repository is a favored solution for long-term storage of high-level waste, while re-use and transmutation are favored solutions for reducing

4. Bulk box - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_box

   A bulk box, also known as a bulk bin, skid box, pallet box, bin box, gaylord, or octabin, is a pallet-size box used for storage and shipping of bulk or packaged goods. [1] Bulk boxes can be designed to hold many different types of items such as plastic pellets, watermelons, electronic components, and even liquids; some bulk boxes are stackable.

5. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

   Gamma rays, at the high-frequency end of the spectrum, have the highest photon energies and the shortest wavelengths—much smaller than an atomic nucleus. Gamma rays, X-rays, and extreme ultraviolet rays are called ionizing radiation because their high photon energy is able to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions. Longer-wavelength ...

6. Drum (container) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_(container)

   A drum (also called a barrel) is a cylindrical shipping container used for shipping bulk cargo. Drums can be made of steel, dense paperboard (commonly called a fiber drum), or plastic, and are generally used for the transportation and storage of liquids and powders. Drums are often stackable, and have dimensions designed for efficient warehouse ...

7. Bulk cargo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_cargo

   Bulk cargo refers to material in either liquid or granular, particulate (as a mass of relatively small solids) form, such as petroleum/crude oil, grain, coal, or gravel. This cargo is usually dropped or poured, with a spout or shovel bucket, into a bulk carrier ship's hold , railroad car / railway wagon , or tanker truck / trailer / semi ...
