- vanadium
-
A chemical element with atomic number 23. Vandium was discovered in 1801 by Andrès del Rio although he was unable to convince other scientists that it was more than just impure chromium. Vanadium was re-discovered in 1831 by Nils Sefström, and was named after Vanadis, a Scandanavian goddess.

- very high radiation area
-
An area, accessible to individuals, in which radiation levels could result in an individual receiving an absorbed dose in excess of 500 rads (5 grays) in 1 hour at 1 meter from a radiation source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates. Note: At very high doses received at high dose rates, units of absorbed dose (e.g., rads and grays) are appropriate, rather than units of dose equivalent (e.g., rems and sieverts).
