Radioactive particles are small, charged or uncharged particles that emit radiation. There are several synonyms for this term, including nuclear particles, radioactive isotopes, radionuclides, and radioisotopes. These particles are typically produced as a result of nuclear reactions or during the decay of radioactive materials. They can have both beneficial and harmful applications, such as in medical treatments or nuclear weapons. Radioactive particles can be detected and measured using radiation sensors and other specialized equipment. It is important to handle them with caution and dispose of them properly, as exposure to high levels of radiation can cause serious health effects.
