Ambient office = 67 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 146 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 141 nanosieverts per hour
Heating plasma to the ultra-high temperatures needed for fusion reactions new techniques. Researchers have considered multiple methods, one of which involves injecting electromagnetic heating waves into the plasma. This is basically the same process that heats food in microwave ovens.
Ambient office = 66 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 139 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 149 nanosieverts per hour

Sid Pathak is an assistant professor at Iowa State. He is leading the team that will test the material samples for the second layer. When the material powder made by the Ames Lab group is ready, it will be formed into plates at PNNL by spraying the powder onto a surface.
Ambient office = 69 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 72 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 73 nanosieverts per hour

Florida is considering a project proposal to test an unconventional road-building material. This material is phosphogypsum, which is a radioactive byproduct of phosphate mining. Phosphogypsum is a waste product created during the production of phosphorus, an essential nutrient in fertilizers.
