Type your answer here... Alpha decay
Nuclear fission
Well right now, in Chemistry, I am learning about Nuclear Chemistry and had to do a huge project on it. What I've learned do far, is that there are three diff. kinds of radiation emitted during the splitting (fission), of a really big nuclei of an element, those are alpha, beta, and gamma (rays) particles. Now, I believe if my research is correct, the type of radiation emitted from the splitting nuclei, depends on the element being split. For instance if uranium were to be under go nuclear fission, gamma rays will be emitted from it, or if polonium were to under go fission it will emit alpha particles. Now ther emay be flaws to my answer, but I hope this helped you. :)
is it alpha decay or beta decay or nuclear fusion, you cant all be
Nuclear reactions can release four primary particle radiations. Alpha radiation are protons and neutrons emissions, Beta radiation are electrons and Gamma are electromagnetic photons.
Neutrons, average 2.5 per fission in U-235
Binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) is released in a nuclear fusion or a nuclear fission reaction.
beta decay is the wright one
Gamma radiation
Beta decay actually
alpha decay

people are planning to store nuclear radiation there.
Radiation
Francium can be obtained by the following nuclear reaction: 197Au + 18O = 210Fr + 5 n
Nuelceur Reactors amit radiation to the uraninaum that they they decay, spewing out and causing a chain reaction.
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction

A single electron is emitted from the carbon atom. This is usually called beta radiation.
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
Gamma radiation
Spontaneous emission of ionizing radiation as a consequence of a nuclear reaction, or directly from the breakdown of an unstable nucleus; The radiation so emitted; including gamma rays, alpha particles, neutrons, electrons, positrons, etc
Neutron Radiation
Nucleus
Shockwaves and thermal radiation are mainly emiited in a nuclear detonation. When the nuclear blasts hits the ground, kinetic energy from the impact will be released, similar to an earthquake, causing shockwaves. Thermal radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, a result of energy released from the nuclear reaction of two nitrogen atoms forming a carbon and an oxygen atom, causes fires, thermal burns and blindness.
A nuclear reaction, such as a nuclear bomb or in a nuclear power plant, creates nuclear radiation, which is different then gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is produced primarily by the natural decay of high energy states in atomic nuclei (gamma decay). Or from cosmic sources such as pulsars and radio galaxies. Nuclear radiation is caused by the high energy reaction of atomic particles being broken apart (splitting atoms)
A safe reactor don't emit a significant or dangerous quantity of any radiation. But in the core of the reactor all the types of nuclear radiations are emitted.
You're referring to what's called background radiation, which is emitted from various isotopes that can be found in many, many different materials.
