Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The natural ionizing radiation present on our planet comes from many sources and generates most of the radioactivity that surrounds us. Primordial radionuclides, defined as radionuclides present since the formation of Earth about 4.6 × 109years ago, play a critical role in our understanding of geological conditions on our planet over its whole history. Radioactivity initiated by the successive decay of232Th,235U, and238U is essentially responsible for the presence of radioisotopes of lead, polonium, bismuth, astatine, radon, francium, radium, and protactinium on Earth. Because of their short half‐lives with respect to Earth's geologic timescale, the decay of these radionuclides is responsible for a significant portion of the doses of natural radioactivity received by humans. Cosmic radiation, originating from both within and beyond our solar system, completes the list of significant modes of production of natural radioactivity in the atmosphere and the lithosphere. Minor sources of natural radioactivity (including radionuclides produced by cosmic neutron bombardments and spontaneous fission in uranium and thorium minerals) are known to generate quantities of transuranium isotopes and fission products, which are generally associated with the development of nuclear power.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
