1. Radium

   • Emits 1,000,000 times more radiation than uranium

2. Atomic structure

   • In an atom the amount of protons and electrons is the same so that it is neutral
   • Radioactive atoms are unstable and unbalanced
     • To become stable they emit energy in the form of radiation

3. Background radiation

   • Cosmic radiation
   • Food and drink
   • Radon(gas)
   • Rocks and buildings
   • Medical X-Rays
   • Miscellaneous sources
   • Power stations
