Which colorless gas produced by the radioactive decay of uranium-238 is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
Radon is a radioactive gas that can cause cancer.
Why would a fusion reactor produce less radioactive waste than a fission reactor?
In my understanding, this is because a fusion reactor reacts deuterium to produce helium, which is not radioactive, whereas a fission uses uranium or plutonium, for example, which may react to form various radioactive isotopes. A fusion reactor may contain small quantities of tritium, in which case a radioactive isotope of hydrogen may be produced, but given that the majority of reactions occurring involve solely the deuterium, there is less radioactive waste produced.
What is the product of radioactive decay called?
Product of radioactive decay 42He is an alpha particle
What is more radioactive than pure uranium?
Many radioactive isotopes are more radioactive than the naturally occurring uranium isotopes:All fission product isotopes are more radioactive (e.g. iodine-131, strontium-90)Most radioactive isotopes in the uranium --> lead decay chain are more radioactive (e.g. radium, radon, polonium)Plutonium is more radioactiveTritium is more radioactiveCarbon-14 is more radioactiveArtificially produced uranium isotopes are more radioactive (e.g. uranium-233, uranium-236)etc.
Which colorless and odorless gas produced by radioactive decay of uranium-238 is considered to be a cancer causing agent?
That'd be radon
What is call An Alternative to oil resources but it careful disposal of the radioactive waste which is produced?
Geothermal
What is the alternative to oil resources but it requires careful disposal of the radioactive waste that are produced?
geothermal
An alternate to oil resources but it requires careful disposal of the radioactive waste that are produced?
GEOTHERMAL
What is a type of pollution produced by nuclear power plants?
Radioactive waste is a type of pollution produced by nuclear power plants. This waste contains harmful radioactive materials that can remain hazardous for thousands of years, requiring specialized storage and disposal methods.
What are Merits demerits of nuclear fission?
Advantages: it is an alternative source of electricity and heat; it is at the base of fission bombs.Disadvantages: radioactive wastes are produced.
What is alternative cost in economics?
According to the authors of the textbook Economics U$A, Opportunity Cost or Alternative Cost is the value of what certain resources could have produced have they been used in the best alternative way. Since economic resources are scarce, only a limited amount of goods and services can be produced from them and there arise the necessity of choice.
What are the five characteristics of resources?
a.They are scarce i.e their supply is limited. b.They have mortality value. c.They are evenly distributed. d.They have alternative resources.
How is astatine produced?
it is produced by radioactive decay from nature
What is the stable isotope produced by radioactive decay is called?
The stable isotope produced by radioactive decay is called a daughter isotope.
What kind of toxic waste produced nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste, which is a byproduct of nuclear reactions in power plants. This waste can include spent nuclear fuel, contaminated materials, and other radioactive substances, all of which require safe storage and disposal methods to prevent environmental and health risks.
Is Zirconium not radioactive?
Zirconium does have radioactive isotopes, but the main ones used in industry are not radioactive.
Why is there difficulty in disposal of radioactive wastes produced by power plants?
There is no difficulty in disposal of radioactive wastes by power plants except the unjustified concerns of the public that oppose radioactive waste disposal in their vicinity. Currently; there are well established methods and approaches to deal with radioactive waste based on the waste form (solid, liquid. gaseous) and the radioactivity level (low, intermediate, high). Primarily; three methods are applied:delay and decay: to maintain waste in tanks for some periods of time to allow decay of radioactivity and then to be disposed of to environment.dilute and disperse: to dispose to environment (through dilution and dispersion) as ocean, sea, atmosphere, etc.contain and concentrate: This is used mainly for high level radioactive waste as spent fuel or the spent fuel reprocessing products; either in wet storage, dry storage, or incineration&containment in barrels, or vitrified waste.
