Thorium, an element rarely found in some minerals.
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
most radioactive waste is put into special drums that are shipped to a special radioactive waste dump.some of it is concealed in sheets of glass or concrete and put in a place where it wont be touched for many of many years to come this is the most efficient way of doing it.
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.

alpha, beta, gamma
The most easily absorbed radioactive is Alpha
Most metals are stable and thus not radioactive.
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
Hydrogen is not radioactive; its two most common isotopes are stable.
Most of the natural occurring (isotopes of) elements are NOT radioactive.Though most of all the known isotopes are radioactive but most of them do NOT naturally occur.
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
The most familiar of the radioactive minerals is pitchblende which contains uranium.
1. astatine is a halogen that is radioactive.
Most radioactive waste is sealed in special containers, and buried underground. Medical waste that may be radioactive is taken to landfills.
If it isn't giving off a glow, it might not be radioactive. It will glow because most, not all, radioactive material always glows.
They are synthetic because they were made, not found in nature. Most of them are radioactive because they are so unstable.
radioactive waste go somewhere probally in a labratory
