Radionuclide: Radioactive particle, man-made (anthropogenic) or natural, with a distinct atomic weight number. Can have a long life as soil or water pollutant.
radionuclide An unstable nuclide. Any man-made or natural element that emits radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles or as gamma rays.
Radionuclides are radioactive elements that are naturally present in rocks and soil but they also may be man-made.
radionuclide: A radionuclide is a radioactive element, man-made or from natural sources, with a specific atomic weight.
Radionuclide
Any radioactive isotope (form) of any element.

Receptor population
People who could come into contact with hazardous substances [see exposure pathway].
Radionuclides
Radioactive elements, which may be naturally-occurring or synthetic. They emit various types of energetic radiation --- alpha and beta particles and gamma radiation.

Such pollutants include asbestos, beryllium, mercury, benzene, coke oven emissions, radionuclides, and vinyl chloride. Hazardous Chemical An EPA designation for any hazardous material requiring an MSDS under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard.
Atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s released large quantities of radionuclides to the atmosphere. Atmosphere-ocean exchange processes have transferred some of these elements to the oceans.
A general term for a wide range of wastes containing low quantities of radionuclide. Industries, hospitals and medical, educational, or research institutions; private or government laboratories; and nuclear fuel cycle facilities (e.g.
