Depending on: chemical form (oxide or fluoride, etc.), physical form (sintered pellets, powders, gases, liquids), quantity (milligrams or tons), natural uranium or enriched uranium or irradiated uranium, possibility to reach the critical mass, etc.
For each situation the safety precautions are different.
But it is important to know that uranium is toxic and radioactive.

∙ 13y ago3 most important thing to stay safe with radiation
- Time: Minimal time to complete the work with radiation to minimized radiation hazard
- Distance: Keep distance from radiation source where possible
- Shielding: Use radiation shield and stay behind, use lead coated glove and suit when it need to come in contact.

Will the earth be different if it had no radioactive materials?
of course
Is gasoline radioactive?
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.
Why can't chemical treatment be used to destroy the radioactive products produced in a nuclear reactor?
The radioactive materials produced in a nuclear reactor are radioactive because of instability in the nucleus of the atoms of the radioactive materials. Chemistry only affects the way elements behave because of the electron structure. Chemistry is electonic and the radioactive products have problems in their nuclei. Chemistry doesn't affect the nucleus of the atom, so chemical methods cannot be used to deal with radioactive materials, per se.
What is the distinctive symbol used to identify radioactive materials?
Tri Blade
What happens when you burn radioactive materials?
In that case, the radioactive materials will pollute the atmosphere.
Dot class for radioactive materials?
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.

What are radioactive decay hotspots?
It is an area that is contaminated with radioactive materials.
Does radiation need particals?
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.)
What can governments do to conserve the earth's resources?

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.
