certain unstable elements emit radiations called alpha,beta and gamma.an element either emits alpha rays or beta rays which can be accompanied by gamma rays.these rays are not influenced by temperature,pressure or any external forces.the emission of these rays leads to the changing of one element to another.this process is called radioactive decay.the emmitted radiations are harmful and it may cause cancer to human beings

What can disrupt a radio wave?
Magnetism, electrical interference, lightning, solar activity, atmospherics, buildings and structures, other radio waves and nuclear activity.
What are the dangers when using nuclear energy?
A loss of coolant accident could cause fuel damage and hence release activity into the environment. Reactor design and operation must ensure this does not happen.
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Well, as nuclear reactors are nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are not used inside nuclear reactors.
How easy is it to get nuclear power?
Once you have assembled enough fissile fuel in the right geometry and with a suitable moderator, the nuclear chain reaction is easily started. The complication with nuclear technology is to design the overall concept and all the mechanical and instrumentation details in a completely safe way so that any possible fault has been recognised and the consequences have been allowed for, to eliminate the possibility of release of activity to the environment. That is the designers ultimate aim.
What type of nuclear reaction is used in modern day nuclear reactors?
Current nuclear reactors rely on nuclear fission as their nuclear reaction.
Is nuclear activity a character of living things?
Nuclear activity is a character of everything.
Cause of radioactivity?
Nuclear activity
What 's nuclear?
Nuclear is any activity related to the nuclei of atoms as nuclear energy, nuclear fission, nuclear engineering, nuclear physics, etc.
What is nuclear pollutin and what are its causes?
radio activity causes cancer
What activity uses nonrenewable resource?
nuclear power plant
When did the soviet want to invade the us with nuclear bombs?
never, most of their nuclear weapon activity was for propaganda purposes.
What does the nuclear membrane do in a cell?
AnswerThe nuclear membrane contains cell DNA and directs all cell activity.
What is Homer Simpson's activity?
His 'job' - if that's what you mean - is Nuclear Safety Inspector.
What can disrupt a radio wave?
Magnetism, electrical interference, lightning, solar activity, atmospherics, buildings and structures, other radio waves and nuclear activity.
In 1903 what French scientist got the Nobel Prize for nuclear radio activity?
Marie Curie
Which activity consumed most of the Pentagon's budget between 1981 and 1985?
building of nuclear weapons
What did Meitner start?
Lise Meitner an Austrian, later Swedish, physicist who worked on radio activity and nuclear physics. Meitner was part of the team that discovered nuclear fission.
