Radium: named after its radioactive property.
Radioactive waves
Radioactive material refers to substances that emit radiation spontaneously, while nuclear material is any material that can undergo nuclear reactions such as fission or fusion. Essentially, all radioactive material is nuclear material, but not all nuclear material is necessarily radioactive.
Unwanted radioactive products formed during nuclear reactions are called nuclear waste or radioactive waste. These byproducts are often harmful to the environment and can remain radioactive for long periods of time, presenting challenges for disposal and management.
Uranium is the most commonly used radioactive element for nuclear energy production. When uranium atoms undergo nuclear fission, they release energy that can be harnessed in nuclear reactors to generate electricity.
White phosphorus is often used in smoke grenades and artillery shells to create smoke screens on the battlefield, making it an incendiary substance. It is not used in atomic or nuclear warheads where the main destructive force comes from nuclear fission or fusion reactions.
12, 324 nuclear warheads are located in the United states. mind you not all of them are in a missile, they are merely the warheads.
The USA do
The UK is estimated to have a stockpile of approximately 160 active nuclear warheads and 225 nuclear warheads in total.
as per today's update Russia has more than 3000 nuclear warheads(deactivated),1200 warheads ready for use. US has nearly 2400 nuclear warheads stockpiled and 400 nukes ready for use.
yes
About 30,000.
In nuclear reactors used to generate electricity, and in many nuclear warheads.
Yes, plutonium is used in nuclear weapons.
300
to kill people
Russia
Russia has over 55000 nuclear warheads. Massive production occurred mainly after the 9/11 attack on U.S. soil. Many believe it to be in preparation for a 3rd World War.
