It may be possible to bombard Radium 15 with protons, creating Radium 16. Radium 16 has a fast decay rate. This would release large amounts of energy.

At least nine missions by the ESA, Japanese Space Agency and NASA have used ion propulsion.

RaPo is the formula of radium polonide Because Radium is in group two, so loses two electrons as an ion And... Polonium is in group six, so gains two electrons as an ion Therefore... they balance each other out, so you only need one of each. :)
