What is the difference between radioactive and non-radioactive isotope?
Radioactive minerals are unstable and emit radiation at a constant rate. They also have half lives and lose energy overtime. Nonradioactive minerals are stable, and by there own are incapable of emitting energy.
What is the most radioactive mineral?
Most radioactive materials in mineral collections are Uranium minerals. The Uranyl ion produces minerals with characteristically yellow/green, acicular, crystals that can be very attractive.
What happens to a region when radioactive particles are released?
This region become a radioactive contaminated area.
Does brachytherapy make people radioactive?
Patients receiving brachytherapy do become temporarily radioactive
