    this way it reduces the cost of the energy. For example the Uranium-238,which decays into an alpha particle (Helium nucleus) and a nucleon (Thorium-234). When the Uranium-238 decays it decomposed at the same time, this process can be also called as alpha-decayed. The equation for that is:238U92 -> 234Th90 + 4He2 + Gamma rays. There are three types of radioactive decay; alpha, beta and gamma radiation. The alpha radiation includes a stream of the Helium-4nuclei; beta radiation has higher speed electrons
