Nuclear energy. This is basically a form of kinetic energy.
The structure of a radioactive material is very unstable, and as a result, they, at random, kick of particles or waves in the form of either Alpha, Beta or Gamma radiation.
Alpha waves are Helium nuclei, and as a result are waaaay to big to be of any real harm. Beta particles are essentially electrons, and as such are a bit more tricky. They tend to get in places you don't want them to get. Gamma radiation is by far the most dangerous, as it is a wave and can penetrate several feet of metal.
It is this energy that we harness and use to create fuel, or at least that is how I understand it.

What kind of nuclear waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Radioactive waves
Can a man break metal?
Depends on how brittle the metal is, what kind of metal it is, how strong the person is, and how big of a piece are you talking about. yes a man can break metal but he needs the right equiment but if a man uses his hand it is impossible
Is 950 SV a hallmark for any kind of metal?
950 indicates silver content.......s v is most likely the silversmith that designed the piece
What kind of danger can ununhexium cause?
Ununhexium is a radioactive chemical element.
What kind of toxic waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy produces wastes in the form of spent nuclear fuels, which are a mixture of radioactive isotopes and heavy metals - both of which are toxic - and irradiated materials surrounding the reactor which become radioactive from exposure to the radiation produced by the reactor and which must be disposed of at the end of the life of the reactor. Note that breeder reactors - which are not permitted in the USA - convert some of the otherwise unusable radioactive isotopes into fissionable isotopes, thus allowing more of the fuel to be used and reducing amount of fuel rod waste (with the rods being re-processed to recover more usable fuel rather than just disposed of).
What kind of energy produces radioactive waste?
Nuclear Energy produces radioactive waste because if there isnt any sign of nuclear waste/energy in the sullotion/object then it wouldnt be counted as 'Radioactive'.

What kind of metal is radium?
Yes. Radium is actually considered an alkaline earth metal. Its colour is nearly pure white, but when exposed to air, it turns black. Radium is also extremely radioactive. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on radium.

What kind of element is berkelium?
Berkelium is an artificial element, radioactive, unstable, solid, metal, atomic number 97 etc.
What kind of energy does the toy car use possess when placed on top of a piece of wood?

What kind of scientist studies atomic energy and radioactive fallout?
A Nuclear Physicist or Researcher or Technician would be scientists who know that.
How many volts can a strip of metal take before it melts?
It depends on a number of factors ! What kind of metal is it ? How big is the piece of metal ? What amps is the current running at ? Do you mean not enough information to answer.
