Today radium has only limited applications in research laboratories, for example for the preparation of radon standard solutions, in neutron sources of the type Ra-Be, etc.
Possible use in radiotherapy of some cancers.
Radium was used in the past for luminescent painting of watches and other instruments, was used in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. These applications are not permitted now because radium is strongly radioactive and dangerous.
Possible use of radium isotopes for the radiotherapy of some cancers.
It is a nuclear reaction: Radium(alpha,neutrons)Beryllium.
Today radium hasn't many important uses: - radium-beryllium neutrons sources - radium solutions as radon source and standards - possible use in the radiotherapy of some cancers
Radium is a Radioactive material that produces Alpha only
Today radium has only limited applications in research laboratories, for example for the preparation of radon standard solutions, in neutron sources of the type Ra-Be, etc. Possible use in radiotherapy of some cancers. Radium was used in the past for luminescent painting of watches and other instruments, was used rarely in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. These applications are not permitted now because radium is strongly radioactive and dangerous. Now radium hasn't any use at home and in the industry.
Now, any use at home.

The first use of radium was in the preparation of luminescent paints for the instrument dials.

radium
Radium was important for radiation treatment of cancer, but it has been replaced by other isotopes that can be produced at a lower cost and have greater effectiveness in treatment.
