What are radio active tracers?
Radioactive tracers are substances that contain radioactive isotopes and are used in various fields, particularly in medicine and environmental studies, to track the movement of materials within systems. These tracers emit radiation that can be detected and measured, allowing researchers to visualize processes such as metabolic activity in the body or the flow of water in ecosystems. In medical applications, they are often used in imaging techniques like PET scans to diagnose diseases. Their ability to provide real-time data makes them valuable tools for both research and clinical purposes.
How is nuclear waste contained stored and disposed of and how does it effect nature?
Radioactive wastes are stored in mines; in normal condition they have a nonsignificant effect on the nature.
What color is radioactive waste?
It can be any color and even colorless, such as water. Radiation doesnt effect the color or anything it has radiated.
How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
What is a radioactive nuclear fuel?
All nuclear fuels contain radioactive elements.
Are radioactive tracers short lived?
rays
Radioactive isotopes that can be followed through a chemical reaction or a industrial process is?
tracer
Give two examples of how tracers are used .tell why radioactive isotopes work as tracers?
Alloys
What is the source of radioactive tracers in pipes?
Radioactive tracers in pipes can come from various sources such as leakages from nuclear facilities, medical facilities that use radioactive materials for treatments, or industrial processes that involve radioactive isotopes. These tracers are used to detect leaks, blockages, or flow patterns in pipes.

How are radioactive tracers used in science?
Radioactive tracers are used in science to track the movement of molecules in biological systems. By incorporating a radioactive isotope into a molecule, scientists can follow its distribution and transformations within living organisms or chemical reactions. This technique is valuable for studying metabolic pathways, identifying diseases, and investigating physiological processes.
