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.

You feel what waves as heat?
what we feel as heat is "long infrared radition". "Short infrared radiation" is what your remote uses to control your tv (for some reason this appeared in Terminator 4)
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.
What are the uses of continuous positive airway pressure?
Common uses of continuous positive airway pressure include sleep apnea, respiratory distress syndrome in infants, and adult respiratory distress syndrome.
Which type of power station uses chemical energy to generate electricity coal fired or nuclear?
Coal fired
What are some important uses for corundum?
jewlery
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
What department in x-ray uses Tc99m as the source of radiation?
nuclear medicine
Are there Scientific uses of Uranium?
In prototype, test nuclear reactors, and as a source of radiation.
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.
