discussion 2
• Why and how does atomic nuclear decay take place? Explain.
This takes place in an unstable nucleus, it is a spontaneous breakdown. A radioisotope has an unstable nuclei. These radioisotopes are constantly changing to try and be a stable isotope. Since the are constantly changing the often turn into a new element which is called transmutation.
• What is the significance of atomic nuclear decay?
Eventually they will become stable isotopes but that takes a long time, so these radioactive isotopes are stored away safely. Atomic barriers that keep a nucleus together are very high, but sometimes these particles tunnel out of the walls of the nucleus
• What is your analysis on the societal implications of using this process?
This can be used wisely to cure cancer, check for abnormalities in an individuals body or to destroy civilization or may not even be used at all might just be stored and not touched.
Discussion Question 2
• What are the various uses of radioactivity in healthcare? brain and bone imaging, monitor blood circulation, locations of ocular brain and skin tumors and also used to image liver and thyroid activity.
• What are the future trends in healthcare with respect to the use of radioactivity?
Radioactivity technology will actively grow in the future. The international Association says by 2050 the number of people in the world aged 80 or greater will be 6 times greater . That means the demand for healthcare devices will be high. Gamma radiation remains an extemely flexible, versatile and cost effective method for sterilization.
