What is the difference between radioactive and non radioactive materials?

Radioactive materials contain unstable atoms that decay and emit radiation, while non-radioactive materials do not emit radiation. Radioactive materials can be harmful to living organisms due to their ionizing radiation, whereas non-radioactive materials are generally considered safe for everyday use.


Has anyone eaten nuclear energy?

Radioactive materials have been eaten. In fact every living thing consumes some radioactive carbon, potassium, etc. as they are present everywhere and will always be present as they occur naturally.
