Radioactive isotopes are used to trace blood movement to find clots, and to locate problems in the body.
Radioactive sources are implanted in the body to fight cancer by killing it.
All of this radiation effects the chemisty of the body. All of these techniques can also be used in industry. Like gama ray inspections of welds with x-rays to make sure they are good from the inside out.
Clearly if you can do that with radiation then think of the other things you can do with radiation to change chemistry or to affect the chemistry of items. Thus letting you find new ways to do things or even to create new substances.
The latests advance in cancer surgery is the gamma ray knife that uses a focused ray of gamma radiation fired from two different directions to create a cancer killing attack right at the source of the cancer without hurting sorrounding tissue.
