What else can I help you with?
Does alpha decay naturally?
Yes, alpha decay occurs naturally, that is why radioactive material is dangerous, because we can't simply "turn off" the radioactive decay.
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
What is the source of heat in the Earth interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
When elements are formed by another element why is it dangerous?
The process where an element turns to another is radioactive decay, and exposure to radioactivity is dangerous.
What type of radioactive decay the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
Radioactive decay is the most dangerous?
There are three types: Beta decay, alpha decay, and gamma decay/gamma rays. They are all dangerous if exposed to a high amount of radioactive matter. When the radioactive isotope undergoes beta, alpha, and gamma decay, there is an emission of a beta particle, alpha particle, and gamma ray (respectively). In highly radioactive matter, there are often trillions of radioactive isotopes that emit these particles and/or rays - and they are very high-energy once emitted. However, they are only dangerous when exposed to a high amount.
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
How dangerous is technetium?
Technetium is not really dangerous. Since doctors will often use Technetium 99 as a radioactive tracer. It may be radioactive but its decay is slow and will produce a minute amount of gamma rays.
Radioactive decay can be affected by what?
Most types of radioactive decay cannot be affected by anything. However, radioactive decay involving electron capture will be affected by the removal of electrons from around the nucleus. In the absence of orbital electrons, it cannot occur at all.
Why is A loss-of-coolant accident is very dangerous?
The fuel core could overheat from radioactive decay and lead to a meltdown.
Are most isotopes stable?
No, most isotopes are not stable. Many isotopes are radioactive and decay over time, releasing radiation in the process. Only a few isotopes are stable and do not undergo radioactive decay.
