Radioactive chemical tracers emitting gamma rays or positrons can provide diagnostic information about a person's internal anatomy and the functioning of specific organs.

Radioactive tracers are also used to determine the location of fractures created by hydraulic fracturing in natural gas production.

Radioactive tracers form the basis of a variety of imaging systems, such as PET scans, SPECT scans and Technetium scans.

Geiger detectors are still used as a general purpose alpha / beta portable Radioactive contamination measurement and detection instrument, owing to their relatively low cost, their robustness and their relatively high detection efficiency ; particularly with high energy beta particles.

: Radioactive or toxic chemical sites associated with its former defense industries and test ranges are found throughout the country and pose health risks for humans and animals ; industrial pollution is severe in some cities ; because the two main rivers which flowed into the Aral Sea have been diverted for irrigation, it is drying up and leaving behind a harmful layer of chemical pesticides and natural salts ; these substances are then picked up by the wind and blown into noxious dust storms ; pollution in the Caspian Sea ; soil pollution from overuse of agricultural chemicals and salination from poor infrastructure and wasteful irrigation practices

This is often the subject of parody, for example in the Simpsons episode " Radioactive Man " where the onomatopoeic words are replaced with snuh !, newt!

Radioactive beams of specific isotopes are widely used in the fields of experimental physics, biology and materials science.

Radioactive wastes are wastes that contain radioactive material.

Radioactive wastes are usually by-products of nuclear power generation and other applications of nuclear fission or nuclear technology, such as research and medicine.

A summary of the amounts of radioactive wastes and management approaches for most developed countries are presented and reviewed periodically as part of the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.

* Radioactive waste ( some home smoke detectors are classified as radioactive waste because they contain very small amounts of a radioactive isotope of americium-see: Disposing of Smoke Detectors ).

Radioactive tracer compounds are used to observe the function of various organs and body systems.

Radioactive elements are used for radiometric dating, the primary method for establishing an absolute time scale in geochronology.

* The two main characters of the film Radioactive Dreams are named Philip and Marlowe ; Philip narrates it in a similar style as Chandler's novels.

Radioactive tracer isotopes are injected with hydraulic fracturing fluid to determine the injection profile and location of fractures created by hydraulic fracturing.

Radioactive isotopes from ISAC are sent to TITAN to undergo cooling, charge-breeding and trapping.

Other live acts that have appeared are Bandulu, Green Velvet, Technasia, Speedy J and Radioactive Man.

Radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium are the primary contributors to this decay heat, and this Radioactive decay is the primary source of heat from which Geothermal energy derives.

The Vallecitos site includes the Radioactive Materials Laboratory where post-irradiation examinations are done.

Radioactive tracer isotopes are injected with hydraulic fracturing fluid to determine the injection profile and location of fractures created by hydraulic fracturing.

Bart and Milhouse are thrilled to hear that a film version of their favorite comic book series, Radioactive Man, is in production.

The scene in the new Radioactive Man film where Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy are captured in Aquaworld is a reference to the film Waterworld.

An analysis of the isotopes produced, performed at the National Institute of Radioactive Elements in Belgium has shown that the Mo-99 samples produced at ARGUS are characterized by an extreme radiochemical purity, i. e. the impurity content in them is lower than the allowable limits by 2 – 4 orders of magnitude.

LLNL also receives funding from DOE ’ s Office of Science, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, and Office of Nuclear Energy.

The voice and humor of Queer Duck character Bi-Polar Bear – voiced by Ren & Stimpy and Futurama actor Billy West – is also done in the style of Paul Lynde, as was the supervillain The Scoutmaster in the Simpsons episode Radioactive Man.

" In one issue, Radioactive Man also mentions a " Secret Crisis on Erstatz Earths ".

It can also be armed with a Radioactive Projectile which damages all in its sight, it is good against stronger Units.

Another image, Fox Games has a similar feel to Radioactive Cats and is also widely recognized.

David Charles Hahn ( born October 30, 1976 ), also called the " Radioactive Boy Scout " or the " Nuclear Boy Scout ", is an American who attempted to build a homemade breeder nuclear reactor in 1994, at age 17.

Hahn is also the eponymous subject of Silverstein's 2004 book, The Radioactive Boy Scout.

The Simpsons also parodied comic book deaths in the episode " Radioactive Man " in which Milhouse mentions an issue of Radioactive Man in which the eponymous character and his sidekick Fallout Boy die on every page.

Radioactive decay could also provide the energy necessary for such activity, as cryovolcanoes can emit water mixed with ammonia, which would melt at-95 ° C and create an extremely cold liquid that would flow out of the volcano.

He also worked on Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters ( a parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which itself was a parody of many current comic books ), and Shock the Monkey.

There were a number of spin-offs: Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters in 3-D ( illustrated by Ty Templeton ) ran for four issues in 1986 ( also available in non-3D editions ); Clint: Hamster Triumphant was a two issue series focusing on one of the hamsters ; and Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters Massacre the Japanese Invasion was a one shot in 1989.

The On-Line Isotope Mass Separator, also known as the ISOLDE Radioactive Ion Beam Facility, is a facility located at CERN on the PS Booster.

The book was a source of inspiration to David Hahn, nicknamed " the Radioactive Boy Scout " by the media, who tried to collect a sample of every chemical element and also built a model nuclear reactor, which led to the involvement of the authorities.

Joystick was a member of the Thunderbolts which at the time also included Atlas, Blizzard, MACH-IV, Photon, Radioactive Man, Songbird, and Speed Demon.

The character ’ s popularity also led to parodies of Boris himself and “ revenge ” stories appearing in titles such as Blackthorne Publishing ’ s Laffin ’ Gas and Eclipse Comics ’ Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters.

Radioactive sulfur-35 was used to label the protein sections of the T2 phage, because sulfur is contained in amino acids but not DNA.

Radioactive indium-111 ( in very small amounts on a chemical basis ) is used in nuclear medicine tests, as a radiotracer to follow the movement of labeled proteins and white blood cells in the body.

Radioactive Iodine-131 is used in patients with papillary or follicular thyroid cancer for ablation of residual thyroid tissue after surgery and for the treatment of thyroid cancer.

* Radioactive tracer, a substance containing a radioisotope that is used for tracking purposes

[...] Really, this game could have been somewhat interesting if the developers used the Radioactive Man character to parody existing comics and comic eras — as they did in the show and the Radioactive Man comic book — but that's asking way too much of a licensed 8-bit game.
