Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Radioactive substances can be produced readily in an atomic pile. Radioactive substances are atoms that decay naturally. They can give off alpha particles, beta particles and gamma radiation. Unlike X-ray sources they cannot be turned off, so their control is more difficult.
Detailed explanation-2: -The radioactivity of radium then must be enormous. This substance is the most radioactive natural element, a million times more so than uranium.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are four types of radiation given off by radioactive atoms: Alpha particles. Beta particles. Gamma rays.
