What is the problem with disposing of radioactive wastes is that they have a long what?
Radioactive substances have half-lives. This is because the isotope constantly is changing from the radioactive isotope to a daughter element. For example, eventually, when uranium's radioactivity is gone, it becomes lead. After one half life of a radioactive substance, only 50% of that substance is still radioactive. Therefore, after one half-life, a piece of uranium is 50% lead and therefore %50 less radioactive. After another half-life, it has 25% of the original radioactivity, and 75% of the original uranium has become lead. This is the problem with radioactive wastes. It takes many years just for one half lives for some substances, such as uranium. Because radioactivity is harmful, those substances have to be stored until they are no longer radioactive. So, in short, the problem with disposing of radioactive wastes is that they have long half-lives. (although this is not true with ALL substances because some have short half-lives, but, in general, radioactive substances have long half-lives.
What is radioactive substances?
Radioactive substances are the things that put off radiation. These could be radioactive waste, or even radioactive materials not yet used.
Is a procedure in which a radioactive substance is placed within the body to enable visualization of a bone via the image produced by the emission of radioactive particles?
The procedure you are referring to is called a bone scan. Radioactive substances are injected into the body and accumulate in areas of high bone activity. This allows for the detection of abnormalities in the bones through the emission of radioactive particles and subsequent imaging.
Dangers of disposing uranium?
Being toxic and radioactive uranium can be a source of pollution.
What is the difference between a non-radioactive substance and a radioactive substance?
Radioactive substances are unstable as a result of the extra neutrons present in the nuclei of the substance. Non-radioactive substances are stable.
Do radioacvtive substances glow?
Yes. Radioactive substances glow .
Do wind turbines use radioactive substances?

Where you can find the radioactive substance?
Those substances which are made of heavy metals are termed as radioactive substances. e.g. u-235...etc
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.
Can chlorine get rid of radioactive substances?
yes it can because chlorine is opposite of radioactive products
What makes some substances glow?
