Uses for radioactive tracers is to look for flaws in metal objects and are also used by doctors to x-ray images to look at your bones.
Alloys
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.

Radioactive isotopes have many uses:- sources of energy- tracers- treatment of cancers- sources of radiation- components of instruments- nuclear fuels- nuclear bombsand many others
Tracers like technetium-99m are used in medical imaging to diagnose conditions like cancer and heart disease. In environmental science, isotopes like carbon-14 are used to trace the movement of pollutants in ecosystems. Radioactive isotopes work as tracers because they can be easily detected using specialized equipment, allowing scientists to track their movement and behavior with high sensitivity and accuracy.
