Medical Diagnostics and TherapeuticsMedical Diagnostics and Therapeutics

10 million Nuclear-Imaging Procedures each year

80 percent of all new drugs approved each year result from research employing radioisotopes

Industrial UsesIndustrial Uses

Food irradiation lengthens the shelf life of food by killing bacteria without leaving behind any radioactive contamination

Plastics and artificial rubber compounds are irradiated to make cling wraps and automobile tires

Smoke detectors use tiny amounts of the radioisotope Americium-241 to detect smoke particles

The airline, construction and other industries use nuclear materials to examine the structural characteristics of their products to assure their integrity and safety
