BlakeA sealed radioactive source is encapsulated in a material that prevents the radioactive material from escaping. An unsealed radioactive source is not encapsulated and can easily release radioactive material into the environment. Sealed sources are typically safer and easier to manage than unsealed sources.

Any byproduct material that is encased in a capsule designed to prevent leakage or escape of byproduct material is a?
A radioactive sealed source.
What type an amount of radioactive material is found in the M43A1 detector?
The M43A1 detector contains a small amount of radioactive material typically in the form of a sealed radioactive source, such as cesium-137 or americium-241. This radioactive material is used to generate radiation for detection purposes in the detector.
Is a radioactive standard a radioactive source?
A radioactive standard typically refers to a known quantity or form of a radioactive material that is used for calibration or comparison purposes. It can be a source of radioactivity, but not all radioactive standards are used as sources for radiation.
What mineral is probably the source for radioactive isotopes derived from nuclear reactors?
uranium is probably the source for radioactive isotopes derived from nuclear reactors
Does intracavitary radiation make people radioactive?
No, intracavitary radiation does not make people radioactive. The radioactive source used for treatment is placed inside the body temporarily, and once the treatment is completed, the source is removed. The patient does not become radioactive from this procedure.
