Radioaktivni
Radioaktivni is a term derived from Slavic languages, literally translating to "radioactive." It refers to the property of certain atomic nuclei to spontaneously undergo radioactive decay. This process involves the emission of particles or energy, transforming the original nucleus into a different nuclide. Common types of radioactive emissions include alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
Radioactivity is a natural phenomenon observed in isotopes of elements such as uranium, thorium, and potassium.
The applications of radioactivity are widespread and include medical imaging and treatment, industrial gauging, power generation
