10 Things You Didnât Know About Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is undeniably complicated in every conceivable way. The disorder has been around for decades, but the medical community has yet to assemble a clear picture of it. The condition is characterized by extreme fatigue that canât be explained by any underlying medical condition.
A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive isotope) is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable.
The radioactivity of all nuclear waste diminishes with time. All radionuclides contained in the waste have a half-life âthe time it takes for half of the atoms to decay into another nuclide âand eventually all radioactive waste decays into non-radioactive elements (i.e., stable nuclides).igh-level waste is full of highly radioactive fission products, most of which are relatively short-lived. This is a concern since if the waste is stored, perhaps in deep geological storage, over many years the fission products decay, decreasing the radioactivity of the waste and making the plutonium easier to access.
