Been on a paranormal kick but not necessary a believer, wondering how objects become radioactive that aren’t usually (like the hikers clothes at Dyotlov pass) I understand why they are considered radioactive (atoms with access energy?) but do we know why they suddenly are or is it a mystery in and of itself?
In: Chemistry
No, none of it is a mystery, and there certainly is no paranormal element, because the paranormal is made-up nonsense.
When nuclear fission reactions occur, they create radioactive fission products. Those products can contaminate other things, like clothing, water, soil, air, etc. Once contaminated by the radioactive contaminants, the contaminated objects are then radioactive. In the case of the Dyotlov Pass business, no one really knows, because we just don’t don’t have sufficient information to know exactly what occurred.
