Definition of radionuclide in English:
radionuclide
nounˌreɪdɪəʊˈnjuːklʌɪdˌreɪdioʊˈn(j)uˌklaɪd
A radioactive nuclide.
Example sentencesExamples
- Gamma radiation from medically useful radionuclides is substantially attenuated by 1 to 2 inches of lead.
- The impact of the radiation leakage was also relatively limited since most of the initial release of radioactive components was of radionuclides with relatively short half-lives.
- This is a partial list of radionuclides that decay by positron emission and have been used in biomedical imaging studies.
- Alpha emitting radionuclides emit alpha particles, each consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
- If this occurred at the end of the reactor cycle, the fission radionuclides would generate about 4 percent of the total thermal power of a working reactor.
