Radiation and Radioactive Decay

Mr. Andersen explains why radiation occurs and describes the major types of radiation. He also shows how alpha, beta, and gamma radiation affect the nucleus of a radioactive atom. Nuclear equations are also discussed.

    Thank you for this video. It was very formative and easy to understand (and even entertaining). I have a question that maybe you or somebody else here can answer. Since Cesium-137 only decays beta+ and what it decays (an electron) can be stopped by something with the thickness of paper, does that mean it is relatively safe? I ask because I recall that the Fukishima reactor leaked a lot of Cesium-137 among other things.

  • @XiseTK

    the nucleus also looses mass during the decay when the atom is balancing itself by the release of the proton/electron correct? This mass lost is the daughter element that is "created" what are those particles called that the nucleus releases to the daughter element?? Just curious if they have a special designation.

    I know a little more but is still don't understand how radiation actualy comes into exitense. Is it because the larger the nucleus gets the more unstable it becomes and the strong nuclear force starts to oscillate and that gives of protons as radiation? If so, can you accelerate the process so it breaks up in stable elements?
