Radioisotope 05
Radioisotope 05 : A radioactive isotope of an element. A radioisotope can be produced by placing material in a nuclear reactor and bombarding it with neutrons. Many of the fission products are radioisotopes. Sometimes used as tracers, as energy sources for chemical processing or food pasteurization, or as heat sources for nuclear batteries. Radioisotopes are at present the most widely used outgrowth of atomic research and are one of the most important peacetime contributions of nuclear energy
