Yes. A radioactive standard is a configuration of radioactive material constructed in a precise way, allowing the standard to be used as a reference when measuring other radiation sources. Standards typically come as solids trapped in a mylar foil pocket, embedded directly in a plastic or electroplated onto a metal disc, or as a sealed liquid solution. Standards are used to calibrate radiation measuring equipment.
What else can I help you with?
What is sealed and unsealed radioactive source?
sealed radioactive source means the radioactive isotopes which is encapsulated with a stainless steel to avoid higher LET radiation condamination .typically source may be used in brachytherapy to treat the cancer and unsealed source used to in nuclear medicine which is the radioactive source is not sealed examble IODINE131
What mineral is probably the source for radioactive isotopes derived from nuclear reactors?
uranium is probably the source for radioactive isotopes derived from nuclear reactors
Does intracavitary radiation make people radioactive?
No, intracavitary radiation does not make people radioactive. The radioactive source used for treatment is placed inside the body temporarily, and once the treatment is completed, the source is removed. The patient does not become radioactive from this procedure.
What is the unit measurement for the activity of a radioactive source?
roentgen
Dangers of disposing uranium?
Being toxic and radioactive uranium can be a source of pollution.

WHAT DOES The amount of radiation that an individual absorbs depends on?
Time exposed to a radioactive source and the Distance a person is from a radioactive source and Type and amount of shielding between a person and a radioactive source.
What is the source of heating in the mantle?
Source of heat in mantle come from radioactive decay of the radioactive elements inside the earth..

Does intracavitary radiation make people radioactive?
No, intracavitary radiation does not make people radioactive. The radioactive source used for treatment is placed inside the body temporarily, and once the treatment is completed, the source is removed. The patient does not become radioactive from this procedure.
Nuclear power how long does the radioactive source take to decay?
It depends on the radioactive source half life. refer to the related question below for more information.
What are radioactive isotopes most commonly used as?
Several applications are:- radioactive tracers- source of energy- source of radiation- diagnostic- treatment- luminescent paintings- sterilization
What is the unit measurement for the activity of a radioactive source?
roentgen
What are three physical factors that have no effect on the amount of radiation emitted by a radioactive source?
The half-life of the radioactive material, the type of decay process, and the initial quantity of radioactive material are physical factors that do not affect the amount of radiation emitted by a radioactive source. Radiation emission is solely determined by the intrinsic properties of the radioactive material itself.
