•Radioactivity

Please include the following in your initial post:

•Provide a brief summary of your research.

•Explain how the research illustrates the concept(s) you are discussing.

•Discuss any ethical or practical considerations that might arise from this application of the concept. These might include (but are not limited to) environmental impact, safety concerns, or issues of effectiveness.

•Your summary must be in your own words.

•Be sure to cite your source(s) and include the URL.

Note: If a classmate has chosen the same application of a concept, you must research another application of that concept.
