A mining company wants to build a modern processing plant that is safe for workers. the location of the plant is close to the mining operation, which has inadvertently exposed some sources of radionuclides. which is the best reason for consulting with a nuclear chemist before building the process plant?

to determine the level of radionuclides present

to explain the health concerns that are related to radiation

to destroy all the radionuclides in the area immediately

to conduct tests to see if workers are affected by radiation

A) To determine the level of radionuclides present

Snyder · Answer 2

A nuclear chemist is consulted before the process plant is built

to determine the level of radionuclides present

The major responsibility of a nuclear chemist is to conduct tests on radioactive substances. After the nuclear chemist is done determining the levels of radionuclides present in the area, he can then consult a safety officer to decide whether or not the levels are toxic to the workers.
