What is nuclear pharmacy
Nuclear pharmacy is a specialty area of pharmacy practice dedicated to the compounding and dispensing of radioactive materials for use in nuclear medicine
procedures.
What is Radioactive Material
It contains radionuclide
A radionuclide is an atom that has an unstable

How does a radioactive material gives off radiation
If a nucleus, for whatever reason, has an excess of either proton or neutron, it will try to “get rid of” the excess component and return to a stable state. By doing so, the atom is said to give off this energy in the form of radiation
