- Radioactive substances are often used as tracers in medical investigations
- They can also be used to treat some conditions such as cancer
- Medical diagnostic
- Isotopic sources of energy
- Tracers in hydrology, Biology, agriculture, etc.
- Minerals dating in geology
- Tracers in chemical industry
- Tracers to study damage of metals, building materials, etc.
- Radiochemical polymerization
- Sterilization of foods, medical equipment, wastes
- Smoke detectors
- Water detectors
and many others important applications.
But uncontrolled use of radioactivity may be dangerous; internal contamination or external irradiation must be avoided.
Uranium is not artificial radioactivity so it is not clear what the question is about.

Marie Curie (although she did not 'discover radioactivity'; that was Becquerel)
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.
Natural niobium is not radioactive.
losing control and giving in to instinct
if you touch an electrical appliance with wet hands while its on it can blow
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.
Radioactivity affect the water molecules. Radioactivity makes it harmful
What other sort of radioactivity is there?
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 induced in ordinary matter by artificial transmutation.
no but she built the knowleage of radioactivity.
You cannot measure radioactivity in litres
Radioactivity in Japan is about 15,000 terabecquerels.
NO. Henri Becquerel was the discoverer of radioactivity.
You need radioactivity, for many things such as x-rays.
