How is nuclear medicine utilized underwater?
I am a 30 year old male. I want to know how is nuclear medicine utilized underwater? Also, how does nuclear medicine affect marine life?

The only application I know of is when scientists try to determine the volume of a pool of liquid. By putting in a known amount of radioactivity and allowing it to disperse, scientists can then sample the water and determine volume. Geologists use this to determine the size of oil reserves.
