If radium and chlorine combine to form radium chloride what is true about the compound?
As radium is radioactive, radium chloride would also be radioactive. Any compounds make with any radioactive material are radioactive, and they cannot be "not" radioactive. Radioactive material doesn't really care if it is "alone" or in compound; it will be radioactive in any case.
Does brachytherapy make people radioactive?
Patients receiving brachytherapy do become temporarily radioactive
How does something become radioactive?
It starts out that way.It became radioactive when it was produced in an ancient supernova explosion, long before earth formed. Supernova explosions are responsible for producing all elements heavier than nickel and iron (radioactive or not), the heaviest elements that can be formed by nuclear fusion.
Does intracavitary radiation make people radioactive?
Patients receiving intracavitary radiation do become temporarily radioactive
What changes in a radioactive material to make it emit radiation?
Due to unstable atomic structures (or a weak nuclear force), radioactive materials release alpha particles as radiation.

Can radioactive be recycled?
Yes, there are a number of uses for radioactive material. It depends on the type of radioactive material.

What is used to make a dirty bomb?
Pretty much any radioactive material can be used.
How do you use radioactive material?
If you are a smart guy, you can make a nuclear bomb, or a nuclear reactor...
What happens to the cooling water in a normally functioning nuclear plant does it all become radioactive eventually and how is it treated?
Water itself does not become radioactive, luckily, but any dissolved material in the water in the reactor primary circuit gets irradiated by the neutron flux and so can become radioactive. Therefore it is very important to control the water purity, it is all treated in a demineralisation plant, but then that is normal practice for power plants anyway, the difference in a nuclear plant is that the removed material can be radioactive. The secondary water/steam system in a PWR will not become radioactive, neither will the station cooling water used to cool the turbine condenser.
What counts radioactive material?
We often use a Geiger counter to detect and count the decay of radioactive material.
