Radioactive Materials Categories II And III-Yellow

A radioactive material, under categories II and III-Yellow, pertains to any radioactive substance that is hazardous but less dangerous than a category I-white material. These materials emit radiation at lower levels and pose reduced health risks. The yellow designation signifies a lower level of hazard compared to Category I materials, making them subject to different safety protocols and regulations.

While less hazardous than Category I materials, Categories II and III-Yellow radioactive materials still emit ionizing radiation. This radiation can damage living tissues and increase the risk of cancer, making safety precautions crucial. 

Applications of Categories II And III-Yellow Radioactive Materials 

Categories II and III-Yellow radioactive materials are used in various applications, including medical diagnostics and industrial processes. For instance, they may be used in radiography equipment for non-destructive testing, nuclear gauges in industry, and some medical imaging procedures.  

These materials are subject to radiation safety measures and regulatory compliance to protect workers, the public, and the environment. Proper handling, transportation, and storage protocols must be followed to minimize radiation exposure risks.
