The Amazing World of Nuclear Technologies

Radioactive materials benefit us in many ways. Besides producing electricity, they are used to diagnose and treat diseases, including cancer. They also are used to test new drugs for safety, to kill bacteria in food, to help explore for oil and gas, to breed farm crops that are more resistant to disease, to provide electricity for unmanned spacecraft and to power ships and submarines.
