Radionuclear
Radionuclear :
Radionuclear is not a legitimate word. See: nuclear material and radioactive material. Radionuclear has been used in nuclear medicine to mean 'involving the use of radionuclides'; thus 'radionuclear tests' in nuclear medicine seems to mean tests in which radiopharmaceuticals are administered. This usage should be avoided. Radionuclear has also been used as a journalese shorthand form for 'nuclear and/or radiological', as in the terms 'radionuclear weapon' and 'radionuclear emergency'; or for 'nuclear and/or radioactive', as in the term 'radionuclear material'. These usages should be avoided
