What Does TENR Stand For?

TENR stands for Technologically Enhanced Natural Radioactivity

TENR, or Technologically Enhanced Natural Radioactivity, refers to the process by which human activities increase the levels of naturally occurring radioactive materials in the environment. This phenomenon can arise from various activities, including mining, industrial processes, and the use of certain agricultural products. Understanding TENR is crucial for assessing potential health risks and managing environmental impacts associated with increased radiation exposure from natural sources.
