What does radiation given off by radioactive waste not do?
Corrode metals
What type of hazardous waste gives off radiation?
Radioactive
Which type of hazardous waste gives off radiation?
Radioactive
Why only radioactive element give out radiation?
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
What is radioactive substances?
Radioactive substances are the things that put off radiation. These could be radioactive waste, or even radioactive materials not yet used.
Does toxic waste give off radiation?
What toxic waste? Some toxic waste gives off radiation, some doesn't
Does the amount of radiation you give off depend on what is inside of you?
Yes. Radiation is emanated from radioactive material, so the amount of radiation that someone "gives off" is a function of how much radioactive material they have inside them.
Which isotopes break down and give off radiation?
These are the radioactive unstable isotopes.
Elements whose atoms give off radiation are called?
Radioactive elements give off radiation. The emission of radiation occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus tries to become stable. Some examples of radioactive elements are radium, curium, nobelium, rubidium, and polonium.
What are three of the natural sources that give off radiation?
- Radiation of cosmic origin- Radiation from radioactive elements (and decay products) of the Earth- Internal radiation of organisms
Why isn't nuclear waste have its radiation used for solar power?
Because nuclear waste doesn't give off the same radiation as the sun.
