I'm not sure this is really a meaningful question.
It's a source of gamma rays, so if you need those, there you go.
It also produces alpha and beta rays (depending on the exact nuclear decay involved), so again, if you need those, extremely useful.

What are good types of radiation?
Radiation is neither good nor bad. All types of radiation can be useful for some purpose, but many can be harmful in overdose conditions.
Which radiation detection device is the best to use for measuring the presence of radiation in large moving objects where constant monitoring is impossible?
A bronsted-lowry acid is a useful device for measuring this sort of radiation.
What does the earth's atmosphere do to most types of electromagnetic radiation?
It absorbs almost everything except the visible spectrum.
Which type of radiation in the electronmagnetic spectrum is the least energetic?
The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum. The least energetic type of radiation may be found in what is known as "extremely low frequency" radiation (ELF). This is radiation with a frequency in the range 3-30 Hertz. ELF radiation can penetrate seawater and so is particularly useful for communicating with submarines.
What does a pyrometer do?
A pyrometer is a device that is used to measure thermal radiation, a type of heat energy. It is useful for those who work on heating houses or or who do any work where heat transfer is important.
Can nuclear radiation be useful?
Certainly.
What percent of radiation is absorbed?
The radiation that are absorbed are not all useful. Only the harmful ones are.
What forms of radiation are used medically?
There are three kinds of radiation useful to medical personnel: alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
What device is not useful for measuring radiation?
For example a thermometer.
What are the importance of radiation?
The importance of radiation is that it can get rid of cancer cells. It is highly useful in helping get rid of tumors.
How is gamma radiation used in medicine?
gamma radiation is used in cancer treatment. the most common source of gamma radiation is.
Which unit of radiation dose rem or rad is most useful for describing the effect of radiation on living tissue?
