B+Lise+Meitner

= __Isotope and Radioactivity__ = = = =Name of radioactive isotope/electromagnetic radiation/scientist:= Lise Meitner = = = = =Explanation of interesting facts: (how used/works.experiments/discoveries)=
 * 1) She discovered Nuclear Fission
 * 2) She discovered the element protactinium with Otto Hahn
 * 3) She discovered the Auger effect

=3 Advantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/benefits of discovery=

1. Nuclear Fission is used to create energy and is still used today.

2. The Auger effect is when electrons give off energy and explains anomalies in x-ray spectroscopy data.

3. Protactinium is the longest lived and most occurring isotope and is a decay product of Uranium.

=3 Disadvantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery:= 1. Nuclear fission is the reaction in nuclear bombs.

2. Nuclear waste is created by nuclear fission.

3. A reactor meltdown can occur when creating nuclear energy using nuclear fission. Chernobyl is an example of this.

=Is the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery still used today? Explain= Nuclear fission is still used to create about 16% of the world's energy today. Nuclear bombs still exist today. The Auger effect is still being researched by scientists to better understand electrons.
