Energy production

1. --------makes use of all three major characteristics of radioisotopes: they have identical chemical behavior to other atoms of that element; they give off energy that can be easily detected; nd their nuclear behavior is the same regardless of the chemical state.

   2. ---------takes advantage of the fact that nuclear reactions involve very large amounts of energy, producing a lot of energy for a relatively small mass of fuel.

3. ---------- takes advantage of the fact that nuclear behavior of radioisotopes is predictable regardless of the chemical environment.
