Beta and Gamma
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.

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.

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.

2. Alpha Particles
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.

Californium-252 / Tests luggage for hidden explosives, and gauges the moisture level of soil, which benefits the oil industry.

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.

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. ]]> 2021-09-16 22:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cvliet/8jpeqkinua6pv9lb/wish/1747103321 Iodine - 131 vrijo9445 https://padlet.com/cvliet/8jpeqkinua6pv9lb/wish/1747184612 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.

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 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.
