Is it possible for water to be radioactive?
Yes, it is possible for water to become radioactive if it comes into contact with radioactive materials or is contaminated by radioactive substances.
Is water radioactive?
No, water is not radioactive.
What are the effects of nuclear accidents on soil water and air?
Nuclear accidents can contaminate soil with radioactive materials, making it unsuitable for agriculture and posing health risks. Water sources near the accident site may become contaminated with radioactive substances, affecting aquatic ecosystems and drinking water quality. Radioactive particles released into the air during a nuclear accident can spread over large distances, increasing the risk of radiation exposure to both humans and wildlife.
Does nuclear fusion create radioactive waste?
Nuclear fusion does not create long-lasting radioactive waste like nuclear fission does. However, some materials used in fusion reactors may become radioactive and need to be handled carefully.
Why do non-radioactive substances become radioactive when placed near a radium compound?
Radium, being radioactive, will irradiate and activate some things placed near a sample. The element radium in its "natural" form is an alpha particle emitter, and things that get hit by an alpha particle have a chance of undergoing nuclear transformation. An alpha particle, which is emitted by a 226Ra atom when it decays, is a helium-4 nucleus. It's composed of two protons and two neutrons. This is a "heavy hitter" as regards particulate radiation. It won't travel far, even in air, because it is too massive and it "runs into stuff" in scattering reactions because of its size. But when it reacts with a nucleus, things happen. That's how some materials near a radium source become radioactive.
Is it possible for water to be radioactive?
Yes, it is possible for water to become radioactive if it comes into contact with radioactive materials or is contaminated by radioactive substances.
What happens to the cooling water in a normally functioning nuclear plant does it all become radioactive eventually and how is it treated?
Water itself does not become radioactive, luckily, but any dissolved material in the water in the reactor primary circuit gets irradiated by the neutron flux and so can become radioactive. Therefore it is very important to control the water purity, it is all treated in a demineralisation plant, but then that is normal practice for power plants anyway, the difference in a nuclear plant is that the removed material can be radioactive. The secondary water/steam system in a PWR will not become radioactive, neither will the station cooling water used to cool the turbine condenser.
How can water become radioactive?
Yes they all are A small percentage of each element in all existence is radioactive and some elements are nearly 100% radioactive if not exactly 100% radioactive, so encountering radioactivity in air, soil, and water is inevitable.
Is water radioactive?
No, water is not radioactive.
What is the radioactive half-life of water?
Ordinary water is not radioactive, so it has no half-life.
Why are dinosaur bones radioactive?
Dinosaur bones can become radioactive due to the presence of trace amounts of radioactive elements, such as uranium and thorium, in the surrounding rocks and soil where the bones are buried. Over time, these radioactive elements can seep into the bones and cause them to become radioactive themselves.
Does a radioactive element become stable after its mass number become less than 82?
Not always -- Hydrogen-3 is radioactive, for example.
How long is the half life of radioactive water?
The half-life of radioactive water depends on the specific isotope present in the water. Common radioactive isotopes found in water include tritium and carbon-14, which have half-lives of about 12.3 years and 5,730 years, respectively.
What happens to a region when radioactive particles are released?
This region become a radioactive contaminated area.
How does a person become radioactive?
By becoming unstable
When an atom bomb is exploded in the ocean what happens to the water?
all animals will become radioactive and turn into land animals as the water will all evaporate the water will then fall from the sky in the form of precipitation and drown all the radioactive land animals. a 100km radius of the bomb will be compltetly extinct and have to repopulate their infected shiettt
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.
