Dose area product (DAP) is a quantity used in assessing the radiation risk from diagnostic X-ray radiography examinations and interventional procedures, like angiography.It is defined as the absorbed dose multiplied by the area irradiated, expressed in gray-centimetres squared (Gy·cm 2 [1] – sometimes the prefixed units dGy·cm 2, mGy·cm 2 or cGy·cm 2 are also used).

Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) is a two-unit pressurized water nuclear power plant located on Lake Dardanelle outside Russellville, Arkansas. Owned by Entergy Arkansas and operated by Entergy Nuclear. It is the only nuclear power facility in Arkansas. [3] ANO has been in continuous operation for 50 years as of December 17, 2024.

MGY or a variant thereof is used as an abbreviation for: Megagray (MGy) and milligray (mGy), SI derived units of the gray (absorbed radiation dose) mgy, MGY, mmgy, MMgy, or MMGY: Million gallons per year
The average radiation dose from an abdominal X-ray is 0.7 millisieverts (0.0007 Sv), that from an abdominal CT scan is 8 mSv, that from a pelvic CT scan is 6 mGy, and that from a selective CT scan of the abdomen and the pelvis is 14 mGy. [7]
As of October 2014, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) had granted license renewals providing 20-year extensions to a total of 74 reactors. In early 2014, the NRC prepared to receive the first applications of license renewal beyond 60 years of reactor life as early as 2017, a process which by law requires public involvement. [10]
A dose rate is quantity of radiation absorbed or delivered per unit time. It is often indicated in micrograys per hour (μGy/h) [1] or as an equivalent dose rate Ḣ T in rems per hour (rem/hr) or sieverts per hour (Sv/h). [2] [3]
