But uncontrolled use of radioactivity may be dangerous; internal contamination or external irradiation must be avoided.
What else can I help you with?
What is an examples of artificial radioactivity except U?
Uranium is not artificial radioactivity so it is not clear what the question is about.
Who is famous for discoveries in radioactivity?
marie curie
What woman won the nobel prize for science in 1903 for discovering radioactivity?
Marie Curie (although she did not 'discover radioactivity'; that was Becquerel)
How was radioactivity discovered?
Radioactivity was discovered on March 1, 1896, by a French physicist named Henri Becquerel, this discovery is now known as one of the most famous accidental discoveries in the history of physics. Becquerel was then awarded half of the noble prize for physics in 1903, the other half being given to Pierre and Marie Curie for their study of the Becquerel radiation.
How can a scientist assess whether a pure niobium (Nb) sample is responsible for contaminating the lab with radioactivity?
Natural niobium is not radioactive.
Which theme do these monsters most clearly convey?
losing control and giving in to instinct
Benefits and dangers of electrical energy?
if you touch an electrical appliance with wet hands while its on it can blow
What does ALARA mean in terms of radioactivity?
ALARA stands for "As Low As Reasonably Achievable." It is a principle to minimize radiation exposure by keeping it as low as possible without sacrificing the benefits of the radiation source. ALARA is used to guide practices and regulations in industries and activities involving radioactivity to protect workers and the environment.
How does radioactivity affect the water cycle?
Radioactivity affect the water molecules. Radioactivity makes it harmful
Advantages of nuclear radioactivity?
What other sort of radioactivity is there?
What are the dangers of nobelium?
Nobelium is a highly radioactive element, and its isotopes are not found in nature. Due to its radioactivity, it poses health risks if handled or ingested. Additionally, it can undergo spontaneous fission, releasing large amounts of energy.
Radioactivity can be what?
Radioactivity can be induced in ordinary matter by artificial transmutation.
When did Marie curie build radioactivity?
no but she built the knowleage of radioactivity.
Do you messure radioactivity in literes?
You cannot measure radioactivity in litres
How much radioactivity is in Japan?
Radioactivity in Japan is about 15,000 terabecquerels.
Marie curie discovered radioactivity?
NO. Henri Becquerel was the discoverer of radioactivity.
What do you need radioactivity for?
You need radioactivity, for many things such as x-rays.
