Nuclear physics deals a lot with radioactivity!
Radioactivity is a phenomenon when the nucleus of an atom has a lot (I mean a lot) of energy. In order to shed off some of that energy, it gives off radiation. Radiation can be a simple gamma ray, or it can even shoot off some of it’s electrons to get rid of energy.
Since radiation has to do with the behavior of the nucleus, it is a nuclear process.

The radioactivity consirderd to be a nuclear phenomenon because it produces alpha, beta and gamma rays which are very harmful to the human body. A use of radioactive elements is very harmful especially its Disposal processes. They produced their rays over hundreds or thousands of years. Even in buried ground also.
