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.

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 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.
