activation

EXP: on parle d’activation lorsque dans un réacteur, des noyaux atomiques capturent des neutrons et deviennent ainsi radioactifs

EXP: von Aktivierung spricht man, wenn Atomkerne in einem Reaktor Neutronen einfangen und dadurch radioaktiv werden

EXP: si parla di attivazione quando nuclei atomici all’interno di un reattore diventano radioattivi a seguito della cattura di neutroni liberi

EXP: in the context of nuclear installations, activation is used to refer to the unintentional induction of radioactivity; in the context of the production of radioisotopes, activation is used to refer to the intentional induction of radioactivity; in other contexts, activation is an incidental side effect of irradiation carried out for other purposes
