Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of atoms. Although they do not emit radiation, their unique properties enable them to be used in a broad variety of applications, including water and soil ...

While the number of protons defines the element (e.g., hydrogen, carbon, etc.) and the sum of the protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass, the number of neutrons defines the isotope of that element ...

China's first commercial reactor device for the online irradiation production of isotopes was officially put into operation ...

All three isotopes of hydrogen have identical chemical properties. This is because the number of electrons determines chemical properties, and all three isotopes have one electron in their atoms.

Qinshan Nuclear Power Base plant in China has opened its doors, producing medical isotopes using online irradiation.

This Section implements all activities of the IAEA's Water Resources Programme, which promotes and transfers know-how on the use of isotope hydrology as an effective tool for water resources ...

"That's an instrument the scientists use to detect and measure the rare isotopes in reactions, to figure out how the elements in the stars form, and what hold atomic nuclei together," he said.

This involved the operation of laser equipment to probe nobelium atoms and measure their atomic hyperfine structure. A key ...

The "Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory" contains four real and radioactive uranium ores for kids to experiment with.
