Why are robots used in radioactive environments?
If a human is exposed to radiation the may get radiation sickness, and cancer (although it can be used to treat cancer)

9
Radioactive element used to treat cancer and is also a alkaline earth metal?
I believe the answer is cobalt (Co).
How can a radioactive isotopes may be used to treat a medical problem?
Radioactive isotopes can be used in radiation therapy to target and destroy cancer cells. The isotopes are directed at the tumor site, where their radiation damages the cancer cells and inhibits their growth. This helps to shrink or eliminate the tumor and treat the medical problem.
Can this laser treat cancer?

When you can no longer get radioactive iodine to kill thyroid cancer what happens?
You can still treat thyroid cancer by using radiotherapy although I do not think its as effective. Alternatively, chemotheraphy could also be used.
Why are radioactive isotopes that emit gamma rays useful for treating some forms of cancer?
Radioactivity is indeed used to treat some types of cancer. Electron beams are used for surface cancers due to their lower energy. Proton beams and neutron beams are used to treat other hard to reach cancers. Carbon ion radiation is also sometimes used.
How is radium useful?
Radium is used today to treat Cancer and other medical caused deseases. It is also used in watch hands and gauges in airplanes. Radium is RADIOACTIVE and is not something to mess with.
Which nuclide is paired with a specific use of that nuclide?
Carbon-14 is used in radiocarbon dating to estimate the age of ancient artifacts and archaeological findings. Cobalt-60 is used in cancer treatment through radiation therapy to destroy cancerous cells. Uranium-235 is used as fuel in nuclear reactors to generate electricity.
