Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The factors having impact on the amount of radiation and danger of the radiation emitted should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear processes are represented by nuclear equations. The equations are balanced with sum of nucleon numbers and atomic numbers same on both the sides. There are main four types of radioactive decay: alpha, beta, gamma and positron emission. There is one more type of decay, electron capture, in this 1 electron is absorbed by the reactant nucleus. The atomic fragments left nuclear fission of large atomic nucleus are known as nuclear fission products. For example, large nucleus like uranium split into two smaller nuclei by fission reaction. This also produces heat energy and gamma rays. The smaller nuclei are fission products.

The unstable nuclear fission products with long half-life are radioactive in nature. They exist in nature for long life.
