The explanation is the effect of ionizing radiation on tissues and materials.
Three uses are:
- sterilizing of instruments and parapharmaceutic items
- diagnostic with radioactive isotopes (scintigraphy)
- treatment of cancers with radioactive isotopes

Why lightning conductor contains radioactive compound?

Lightning conductors do not contain radioactive compounds. They are typically made of metal, such as copper or aluminum, and work by providing a path of least resistance for the lightning strike to follow, directing the electrical discharge safely into the ground. There is no need for radioactive materials in a lightning conductor.


Which nuclear reaction uses the least expensive materials and produce the least amount of radioactive by-product?

You would probably be talking about nuclear fusion, but it is not available for use and probably won't be for another 50 years, so it's an academic matter. For useful power, fission reactors are the only technology we have, and they all use uranium and produce similar amounts of fission products


Are moon rocks radioactive?

No. At least no more than any other rocks. Almost all materials contain some trace of radioactive material.

Are all transition elements are radioactive?

Not all of the transition elements are radioactive. Many of them are, and some of them have common radioactive isotopes, but some of them have no naturally occurring radioactive isotopes. Please note that all elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, at least.


Can you get power from the radioactive element plutonium?

Yes, at least theoretically


Which atoms are least likely to be radioactive?

Atoms with stable nuclei are least likely to be radioactive. Typically, atoms with an even number of protons and neutrons are more stable and less likely to undergo radioactive decay. This includes elements such as carbon-12, oxygen-16, and nitrogen-14.


What is the scientific explanation why do girls fall in love when you give them flowers and chocolates?

There's no "scientific explanation" for that, at least partly because it doesn't happen.

Plutonium is a very toxic element; also is a radioactive element.


Which noble gas has a radioactive isotope?

Radon is a noble gas and is radioactive. All of the other noble gasses have at least some synthetic radioactive isotopes. Radioactive isotopes of both krypton and argon exist in nature in trace quantities.
