detecting leakages in pipes
tracer
Isotopes are used as tracers in many medical settings. Radioactive isotopes are used to identify abnormal bodily processes. The isotopes can also be used in plants to measure the amount of radioactivity in the leaves.
Tracers may be used by biologists studying plants, engineers surveying flaws in metal, and doctors detecting medical problems.
They're useful for x-rays or looking at metals,or determining the age of rocks/fossils. (Hope it helped!😁)
You can use Radioactive Tracers to locate leaks in a faulty pipe system, to determine the amount of fertilizer absorption in plants, or to diagnose diseases.

That is correct. Radioactive tracers have a short half-life, which means they decay quickly and are no longer detectable after a short period of time. This property makes them useful for tracking processes in a relatively short time frame without long-lasting radiation exposure.
Radioactive tracers in pipes can come from various sources such as leakages from nuclear facilities, medical facilities that use radioactive materials for treatments, or industrial processes that involve radioactive isotopes. These tracers are used to detect leaks, blockages, or flow patterns in pipes.

Either beta or gamma
Radioactive isotopes are used is:- medicine, for treatment by irradiation- medicine, for diagnostic- in science/technology as tracers- as source of energy- as source of ionizing radiations- in many instruments- determination of rocks ageetc.
