The radioactive isotope iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope who concurrently discharges two types of radiation, radiation beta minus and gamma. Iodine - 131 can be found in the liquid waste streamlets of nuclear power plant, however it is kept in specific environments during basic operations. The isotope undergoes a beta minus decay with the emission of several gamma rays. Testing for iodine-131 includes utilizing special medicine imaging techniques using gamma cameras.

An important radioactive isotope used in the medical field is Cobalt-60. Cobalt-60 is used to combat the development of cancer and brain tumors. In order to decay, Cobalt-60 disburses with gamma emissions. If used correctly, Cobalt-60 can be used as radiation therapy to control or kill malignant cells within a cancer patient. With Cobalt-60, doctors can avoid surgical procedures when it comes to brain tumors. They can do this because the radiation doesn't have to be in direct contact with the tumor.

Iodine - 131/Radiation therapy has two types of radiation, beta and gamma. Iodine - 131 is used for treating thyroid disorders. Although the radioisotope is considered harmful to the body, using protective screens or staying at a distance would help than being damaged. Depending on the treatment, it may need to be carried over to a stationary or outpatient basis.

Nuclear power plants often use Uranium-235 otherwise known as Nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is considered alpha radiation, which causes no harm. Nuclear energy is a dependable energy source and does not cause pollution. Nuclear energy can also cause radioactive waste that can be hazardous to inhale.

2. Californium-252 has alpha type radiation.

3. Californium-252 is used to analyze and measure the gamma ray signatures of a target, which is useful to detect the contents of explosive devices. Californium is also used to emit neutrons, which can identify water and oil layers in oil wells.

Californium, the radioactive element with the second-highest atomic mass of all elements that have been produced, is used in a number of applications due to its neutron emissions.

Frontier Technology Corporation provides neutron sources for use in the following industries:

Nuclear Reactors

Californium-252 neutron sources are used in nuclear reactors in order to begin nuclear fission. After fresh nuclear fuel is loaded into the reactor, the fuel itself is not sufficient to start a fission reaction. These sources ensure that enough neutrons are present in the core to begin chain reactions within the fuel rods, and create a safe and smooth start for the reactor.

Neutron source rods are spaced at regular intervals inside the core, taking the place of some fuel rods. These are an important factor in safe start-ups, and can also provide a constant signal for neutron detectors to ensure they are working in order to maximize reactor safety.

Oil Industry

In the oil industry, well logging is used to determine the composition and properties of geological formations immediately surrounding the bore. Having this information can give drilling operations a much better understanding of the area, and allow them to adjust their drilling operations to accommodate the local conditions.

Californium is used as a neutron source which emits neutrons into the surrounding area. The resulting data is used to determine the porosity and permeability of the surrounding material, as well as detection of shale beds and hydrocarbons. Using this technique, well logging provides a detailed record of the entire length of the borehole.

Material Scanning

Cf-252 has applications in the scanning of different types of material. Prompt-gamma neutron activation analysis, or PGNAA, is often used for analyses in the coal and cement industry. Using these sources, a neutron beam irradiates samples, while a gamma ray spectrometer measures the gamma rays emitted from the material. This analysis allows experts to evaluate and determine the composition of the material in question, including trace amounts that may not be detectable to other procedures.

Portable isotopic neutron spectroscopy (PINS) uses a similar process to analyse the contents of explosive devices by measuring and analysing the gamma ray signatures of a target. PINS devices are used by the Department of Homeland Security, National Guard, customs and border protection personnel, and the military.

Neutron scanners using these sources are also used for scanning of fuel rods, weapons parts, and aircraft components to detect cracks, bad welds, and other faults that may affect normal operation of the parts.

3. Nuclear energy does have it's positive and negatives. A few examples of pros of nuclear energy could be carbon free electricity, small land footprint, and reliable baseload electricity source. There are many more as well. A few cons of nuclear energy could be that uranium is non-renewable, the costs are high, and there is nuclear waste.

pro:better energy density, better for the environment and uranuim-235 produces little gamma rays con:may explode and leave land contaminated,there will be waste

# data[].attributes.body
nuclear energy can be very beneficial because compared to coal it has a greater energy density. they commonly use uranium-235 because it is easier to split. compared to coal, uranium-235 can produce a million times more energy than coal could produce because of it energy density. it has zero carbon emissions which could help the environment. Uranium-235 mainly produces alpha particles and only a little bit of gamma rays. this is very good because gamma rays could destroy you cells and genes and alpha particles can be stopped by a thick sheet of paper
The only problem with nuclear energy is the possibility of a catastrophic reaction. also there would have to be people to get rid of the waste produced from the reaction. Uranium-235 can produce waste which are isotopes of iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium. there would need to be space to get rid of the waste.

A radioisotope in Nuclear energy is Uranium-235. This is most often used in nuclear power plants and thermonuclear weapons. The type of radiation this is is Alpha. Some pros about Nuclear energy is the fact that it's one of the low-carbon energy sources. It doesn’t produce a lot of  pollution because it is not like fossil fuel. It's also is a reliable source of energy. Some cons about Nuclear energy are the accidents that can happen, it can produce radioactive waste, and it is really expensive to build nuclear power plants.

Sodium-24 does not natural form and is a radioactive isotope of sodium. Sodium-24 is used the medical as an electrolyte tracer to follow the path salt takes in a person's body. This is to see if their uptake levels are within the norm. It can also be used to see if a pipe has a leak.
