A short half-life means the material only remains radioactive for a short time and does not continue to release radiation into the patient or environment.

How much waste does nuclear fusion produce?

Nuclear fusion produces very little waste compared to nuclear fission. The waste produced by nuclear fusion is mainly low-level radioactive material, which is easier to manage and has a shorter lifespan.


Why does a nuclear bomb cause such a large explosion?

Because it releases much more energy in a much shorter time than chemical explosives can.


Does Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives?

yes, Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives. However, this creates no problems. This wastes are either confined in the spent nuclear fuel (that is stored either in wet storage or in dry storage facilities) or stored as vitrified nuclear waste.


Are xrays electromagnetic in nature?

Yes, X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with higher energy and shorter wavelength than visible light. They are commonly used in medicine for diagnostic imaging.


Why do larger stars have shorter life spans?

Larger stars have shorter lifespans because they burn through their fuel at a faster rate due to higher temperatures and pressures in their cores. This causes them to exhaust their nuclear fuel more quickly, leading to a shorter main sequence phase and ultimately a more rapid evolution towards the end stages of their lifecycle.


Are gamma rays shorter or longer then x-rays?

Gamma rays have shorter wavelength than X-rays. Some times X rays might have shorter wavelength than that of gamma rays. Why so? The main reason is that we assign name to the electromagnetic radiations just based on the method of production. X-rays are produced by stopping the fast moving electrons But gamma rays come out the nuclear reaction.


Which type of stars will most likely use up its nuclear fuel soonest?

Massive stars are more likely to use up their nuclear fuel the soonest. They burn fuel at a much faster rate due to their higher temperatures and pressures, resulting in shorter lifespans compared to smaller stars like our Sun.


How long is leave between Navy Nuclear A school and Prototype B School?

When I went to nuclear training, you could take up to 30 days leave or how much time you had to report to Prototype B school, whichever is shorter. Of course that was more than 35 years ago, but the regulation should still be the same.


Wavelengths that are a little bit shorter than visible light are?

Ultraviolet light has wavelengths slightly shorter than visible light, making it invisible to the human eye. These shorter wavelengths can have harmful effects on the skin and eyes with prolonged exposure. Ultraviolet light is commonly used in industries such as medicine, forensics, and photocopying.


Are there exercizes to get shorter?

No, there is no such as exercises to get shorter.


Is it the shorter the frequency the shorter the wavelenth?

No. The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength, v=fw.
