Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM) consist of materials, usually industrial wastes or by-products enriched with radioactive elements found in the environment, such as uranium, thorium and potassium and any of their decay products, such as radium and radon.

Timonium is a radioactive element used as an internal power source for high tech devices. [80] The material has also been featured in The Stardust Voyages, [81] and in Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. Transformium Transformers: Age of Extinction: A programmable material that the Transformers are made from. Tritanium: Star Trek

Radiochemistry is the chemistry of radioactive materials, where radioactive isotopes of elements are used to study the properties and chemical reactions of non-radioactive isotopes (often within radiochemistry the absence of radioactivity leads to a substance being described as being inactive as the isotopes are stable).
The overall process of using a radioactive material to excite a phosphor and ultimately generate light is called radioluminescence. As tritium illumination requires no electrical energy, it has found wide use in applications such as emergency exit signs , illumination of wristwatches, and portable yet very reliable sources of low intensity ...

Radium bromide is the bromide salt of radium, with the formula RaBr 2.It is produced during the process of separating radium from uranium ore.This inorganic compound was discovered by Pierre and Marie Curie in 1898, and the discovery sparked a huge interest in radiochemistry and radiotherapy.
