Fuel that is radioactive
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
Uranium is a solid metal, natural chemical element with 3 natural isotopes, radioactive, with the atomic number 92, used as fuel in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
The nuclear fission process produces a range of lighter elements as fission products, and many of these are radioactive.
True and False. Radioactivity is a characteristic of unstable atomic nuclei, whereas radioactive decay is the process that a radioactive nucleus undergoes when it decays due to its instability.Argument for true: Radioactivity is the tendency to undergo radioactive decay.Argument for false: The two terms are unrelated because one is a characteristic and the other is a process, and, therefore, the question misunderstands the definition of the terms.You choose your definition. This writer prefers false.
If you mean radioactive as in atomic or nuclear, not necessarily. Light is radiation, regardless of its color, but not usually radioactive in and of itself. Atomic or nuclear radiation has no color.However, by the strictest definition, anything that emits radiation of any kind, such as a blue light bulb emitting blue light (which is radiation), could be considered radioactive.
Like when it be there
Nuclear
By definition. If it were stable, then it would not be radioactive.
All nuclear fuels contain radioactive elements.
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.
Radioactive elements used for fuel include Plutonium -239 Uranium-235 and uanium-233.
Uranium is a radioactive element used to fuel nuclear reactors. It is a nuclear fuel.
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
No.
