One application is in neutron bombs. At 500 times the lethal dosage of radiation, they will almost instantly kill a tank crew that is inside of their tank.
A medical application could be in the treatment of cancer, but it is unknown if it is more practical than other methods of radiotherapy.

What is something made out of Einsteinium?
Einsteinium is a synthetic element that has no practical applications besides scientific research. It is mainly used for studying nuclear properties and as a radiation source in some specialized fields.
Which type of power station uses chemical energy to generate electricity coal fired or nuclear?
A coal-fired power station uses chemical energy from burning coal to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses nuclear reactions to generate electricity.
How does nuclear energy use differ from geothermal and solar energy use?
Nuclear energy uses fission reactions to generate heat for electricity production, while geothermal energy uses heat from the Earth's core and solar energy uses sunlight to directly generate electricity. Both geothermal and solar energy are considered renewable sources, whereas nuclear energy produces radioactive waste that requires careful disposal. Additionally, nuclear energy plants are more complex and costly to build compared to geothermal and solar energy systems.
Does cell phones have magnetism?
The transmitter circuit produces the radiation, which exits the phone primarily through the antenna. Due to some major concerns about constant exposure to the radiation from mobile phones -- which can and does approach two watts under some conditions -- many newer phones have the antenna at the bottom of the phone, rather than above the earpiece as in older phones.
Why geothermal energy and nuclear energy different in respect?
Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's core. As we can't examine this directly, scientists are uncertain just what produces this energy. Some will come from radioactive decay, and some is the residue from when the Earth was formed as a lump of hot matter, from some unknown supernova. As far as we know there is no nuclear fission process going on in the core, though I don't see why this should be discounted. Nuclear energy as produced by man is definitely a process of nuclear fission, so this is the difference.
What are some of the positive effects or uses of nuclear chemistry?
The positive uses of nuclear chemistry is its application in the medical field for imaging. It is a very useful diagnostic tool. Radiation and radioisotopes also have applications in agriculture for insect control.
What are the some uses of nuclear radiation?
energy/electricity/weapons
Are there Scientific uses of Uranium?
In prototype, test nuclear reactors, and as a source of radiation.
What department in x-ray uses Tc99m as the source of radiation?
nuclear medicine
What are the uses of nuclear radiation?
Nuclear Warfare to kill people, according to the first answer to this question. Nuclear medicine is the use of radiation to treat or cure disease. It is often used in cancer treatments. Nuclear imaging is the use of radiation to create images, for example, to follow pattern of blood flow in internal organs. Radiography uses radiation (x-rays) to create an image that contrasts dense areas of a body with softer areas, for example, in dentistry or orthopedics. Nuclear radiation is used to make batteries for spacecraft. Nuclear radiation is used in ionizing smoke detectors. Nuclear radiation creates much of the heat inside the earth. Without it the core would solidify and earth would not be habitable. Naturally occurring nuclear radiation is used to locate fault lines and to place dates on volcanic eruption. Nuclear radiation produces about 10% of the world's electricity. Radiation was used for peaceful purposes many years before it was used for bombs. Most uses of radiation are peaceful and productive.
Four uses of radioactive isotopes are?
- energy source - radiation source - tracer - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear bombs
What are uses in medicine for radiation?
Some cancers are treated with radiation.
What are some bad uses for nuclera energy?
some bad uses are nuclear bombs.
What are common uses of nuclear energy?
Most uses include energy and weapons although some nuclear energy is used for materials.
What are the misuse of nuclear power?
Some of the miss uses of nuclear energy is that people inhale it
Four uses of nuclear radiation?
Nuclear radiation is used to make batteries for spacecraft. Nuclear radiation is used in ionizing smoke detectors. Nuclear radiation creates much of the heat inside the earth. Without it the core would solidify and earth would not be habitable.
Is chemotheraphy related to nuclear energy?
Chemotherapy and nuclear energy are not directly related. Chemotherapy is a form of cancer treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells, while nuclear energy is a form of power generation that uses controlled nuclear reactions to produce electricity. However, some cancer treatments may use radioactive materials that are produced in nuclear reactors.
