Earn your Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) while you workâno matter where you live. All eight of the Indiana University School of Nursing campuses across the state of Indiana joined to create the RN to BSN Degree Completion Option. This means that nursing courses are distance accessible, using Web-based and video technologies rather than requiring you to come to campus.
Radioactive materials used in medicine: radionuclides and radioactive isotopes. A radionuclide is any type of radioactive material, including elements and the isotopes of elements. An isotope of an element is a particular atomic version of it. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different atomic structures.
Radioactive elements have a lot of important uses and they also cause some dangerous problems if they are not handled properly. Henri Becquerel first found out about radioactive elements late in the 19th century by placing some photograpic film under uranium salts.horium, a naturally ocurring radioactive element, is used in making mantles for gas and kerosene lamps because thorium oxide glows brightly when heated. The radioactive elements uranium and plutonium are used in the generation of electricity in nuclear power plants.
