The half life of radioactive water depends on what radioactive nuclides are present in the water.
Oil is not generally radioactive unless it was originally located near radioactive material when it was extracted. More often, it only becomes radioactive when exposed to or stored near radioactive materials post processing.
true :p
Radioactive substances are unstable as a result of the extra neutrons present in the nuclei of the substance. Non radioactive substances are stable.
Radioactive materials have been eaten. In fact every living thing consumes some radioactive carbon, potassium, etc. as they are present everywhere and will always be present as they occur naturally. So you are eating them today.Everyone born since 1945 has consumed some uranium and plutonium (and many fission fragment isotopes) released into the environment in atmospheric nuclear explosions.
In that case, the radioactive materials will pollute the atmosphere.
The DOT (Department of Transportation) class for radioactive materials is Hazardous. The specific Hazard number will be determined by the exact name of the radioactive materials. Special permits and placarding are needed for vehicles carrying hazardous materials. The DOT class is categorized into 9 classes according to hazardous materials transportation. Class 7 is the general DOT class for radioactive materials.
No, for all practical purposes. Radioactive materials are not put in pesticides and fertilizers. To be very precise, there are radioactive isotopes all around us, and some of these are in pesticides and fertilizers. 0.012% of all potassium is radioactive, and some is bound to be there. But it is also everywhere else, it is needed for life, and it is not something to worry about.
Radioactive materials decay at predictable rates
Hazard Class 7 is the class for radioactive materials.

No, some radioactive materials are not solids. Most radioactive materials are solids (uranium, plutonium, isotopes of many other materials) Some radioactive materials are gases (Radon) or isotopes of gases (Tritium, carbon fourteen, etc.)
