- Understanding Isotopes & RadioactivityIt was once believed that all atoms of a specific element were identical. We now know there are differences in these atoms, causing some atoms to decay and emit radiation.
- Is Nuclear Power Dangerous?Nuclear power is like any other high-energy device; in the wrong hands or with questionable operation, it is quite dangerous. However, with more than adequate controls, it can supply us with immense energy needs.
The Age of the EarthThis article briefly describes radiometric dating and its use in determining the age of the earth.
Creating Medical RadioisotopesNuclear medicine is a branch that uses radionuclides in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases with the human body. How is it used in medicine?
What Are Isotopes? What is the Definition of an Atomic Isotope?All of us are medical patients one time or another. Sometime during our lives we will require the use of oone or more radioactive isotopes. What are they? What "defines" them?- How Isotopes Are Used?Isotopes have many uses beyond scientific experiments.
- How Are Isotopes Used?Isotopes are used for many other purposes than the production of nuclear fuel
Medical Isotope Supply Cannot Meet DemandThanks to short-sighted planning at the federal level, some medical procedures are being delayed- Exploration of Radioactive IsotopesWhat are radioactive isotopes? Where do they come from? Are they in any way useful to mankind? These and many other questions will be explored in this article.
