How much waste does nuclear fusion produce?
Nuclear fusion produces very little waste compared to nuclear fission. The waste produced by nuclear fusion is mainly low-level radioactive material, which is easier to manage and has a shorter lifespan.
How long does it takes a radioactive material to decay?
Nuclear explosions produce both immediate and delayed destructive effects. Immediate effects (blast, thermal radiation, prompt ionizing radiation) are produced and cause significant destruction within seconds or minutes of a nuclear detonation. The delayed effects (radioactive fallout and other possible environmental effects) inflict damage over an extended period ranging from hours to centuries, and can cause adverse effects in locations very distant from the site of the detonation.

What happens when the light is directed at a transparent material?
When light is directed at a transparent material, such as glass or water, it passes through the material with little to no obstruction. The material may refract or bend the light, but it generally allows the light to transmit through it, making the material appear clear or see-through.
Why is nuclear energy bad for the world?
Nuclear energy produces long-lived radioactive waste. There is also a possibility of accidents that would release radioactive material into the environment. However, there is little to no greenhouse gas or smog produced by a fission plant, so (like everything else) it's a trade-off. Nuclear plants also release far less radiation when operating properly than a coal power plant does. This is because coal contains radioactive uranium and its various products xx
How little plutonium can kill you?
It takes very little plutonium to kill you if you breathe it in. Microgram amounts can cause cancer when airborne plutonium is inspired. Some will stay inside the lungs and irradiate the individual over time. Death is not immediate, but is certain. And it usually isn't a very "clean" passing - if that can be said of any form of death. As plutonium isn't metabolized well, little of it would be absorbed if it was eaten, but airborne materials are a primary hazard at manufacturing facilities where this stuff is worked.Plutonium is unstable and is radioactive. It's daughter products, those elements that result from its radioactive decay, are radioactive, too. A little bit of this super-toxic stuff in an individual's lungs will emit radiation, and will continue to do so as the daughter products decay. There are few words to describe how really nasty this stuff is.A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on plutonium.
Is marble radioactive?
Marble itself is not inherently radioactive, as it is primarily composed of calcium carbonate. However, certain deposits of marble may contain trace amounts of naturally occurring radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium, which can contribute to its radioactivity. It is always a good idea to check the specific source of marble if you have concerns about its radioactivity.
If you start with 20mg of a radioactive substance after 1 half life how much daughter material would you have?
It depends upon the particular atom in the question. The amount of daughter material will be little less than 10 mg. It will not be 10 mg as you may expect. Some of the mass is lost as energy. This amount is too little. Yet the energy released is too much. The mass is converted into energy as per the equation of Einstein. That is E = m c 2. Here the c, means speed of light is 3,00000000 m/s. Square of c is 9 0000000000000000 . It is pretty large than you can imagine. The amount of the radioactive material will be exactly 10 mg. That is how the half life of the radioactive material is defined. As on today, there is no method to convert the entire mass into energy.
What did hershey and chase discover after the p-labeled phages infected the bacteria most of the radioactive phosphorous found in the layer containing?
Hershey and Chase discovered that after the P-labeled phages infected the bacteria, most of the radioactive phosphorus was found in the viral DNA, while little to no radioactive sulfur (used to label protein) was found. This confirmed that genetic material, not protein, is responsible for heredity in viruses.
What radioactive isotope did the first atomic bomb contain?
The first atomic bomb, "Little Boy," contained uranium-235 as its radioactive isotope.
How does polonium effects us today?
Very little. It is a rare radioactive element
How much waste does nuclear fusion produce?
Nuclear fusion produces very little waste compared to nuclear fission. The waste produced by nuclear fusion is mainly low-level radioactive material, which is easier to manage and has a shorter lifespan.
Which material absorb most water and why?
a sponge becuase it hs tiny little holes in it and every time i wash my kids dishes its always full of water
What are the 15 questions that determine if your child has autism?
heres a couple: is you child 3 or over and there not talking? is your child having trouble listening to others? is she/he always in their own little world? do they pay attention to their surroundings? sorry i can't do fifteenq! >:(
What song did queens of the stone age perform on Saturday night live?
On this last Saturday Night Live in 2010, Radioactive and Pyro. Radioactive the first, Pyro the second.
What is the purpose of pretty little liars?
Because it's part of the story (obviously)

Organism's surroundings called?
the space an organism occupies is called a niche the surroundings of and organism would be its habitat I hope this is what you meant by organisms surroundings? if not restate question a little more clearly
