Nuclear Plant Entergy Corp. said Friday its Indian Point nuclear-power station in New York was completely offline after the second of two operating units was shut because of a nonradioactive water leak. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The thyroid cannot distinguish 131I from the nonradioactive form. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Radiocarbon dating works because, when alive, an organism takes in carbon from the air or through the food chain; carbon contains small amounts of the radioactive isotope carbon-14, which decays into nonradioactive standard carbon at a constant rate; when the organism dies it ceases to ingest carbon, so the proportion of carbon-14 in its remains steadily decays. ❋ W. Brain Arthur (2009)
In 1969, he left the lab to devote himself full-time to collecting and selling rejects from the lab that he called "nuclear waste," though of the nonradioactive variety. ❋ Unknown (2009)
For the present discussion we shall restrict our attention to nonradioactive materials. ❋ Unknown (2008)
I think a reactor that produced nonradioactive products would be realistic and really incredibly awesome. ❋ Unknown (2007)
KI is used to protect the thyroid gland, which is very effective at glomming onto iodine in the blood and concentrating it in the gland, by flooding the body with nonradioactive, safe iodine, thus preventing radioactive iodine (I-131), such as can escape from a leaky nuclear power plant, from being concentrated. ❋ Unknown (2005)
I brought a lovely pair of nonradioactive balls here, and I will leave with the same number. ❋ Smith, Martin Cruz, 1942- (2004)
In a PET scan, radioactive atoms are introduced into the body, where their chemical behavior is exactly the same as similar nonradioactive atoms. ❋ Unknown (2002)
Iodine 131 is chemically identical to normal, nonradioactive iodine and thus is absorbed into the body just as normal iodine is, mainly in the thyroid gland, where it delivers a concentrated dose to that small organ and can cause cancer. ❋ By MATTHEW L. WALD (2011)
The decommissioning operation at Zion, which began on Sept. 1, will skip one of the slowest, dirtiest and most costly parts of tearing down a nuclear plant: separating radioactive materials, which must go to a licensed dump, from nonradioactive materials, which can go to an ordinary industrial landfill. ❋ By MATTHEW L. WALD (2010)
In those two cases, the reactor owners tried to sort the radioactive materials from the nonradioactive, in order to dispose of ordinary concrete and steel at recycling centers or industrial landfills. ❋ By MATTHEW L. WALD (2010)
"Ideally we want to concentrate the radioactive material so it can be dealt with properly and the nonradioactive water thrown away," said Mercouri G. Kanatzidis, Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and the paper's senior author. ❋ Unknown (2010)
So a power station's waste cache might be an ever-growing mountain, but the only thing about that mountain that can grow is the number of inert stable nonradioactive atoms. ❋ Unknown (2010)

These glasses are so named because it contains four major nonradioactive parts of vitrified atomic waste: alumina, boron oxide, sodium oxide, and silica. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Some elements are radioactive and steadily break down into nonradioactive elements. ❋ Unknown (2009)
