Would i be right in saying that if a radioactive material (e.g. Uranium) is placed into sealed box then it would not radiate? i came to this conclusion through the Heisenburg uncertainty principle. If the particles making up the uranium are not measured then they don't decide on a quantum state and so do not find themselves outside of the nucleus and radiate.
Sounds a bit strange that keeping a highly dangerous radioactive material in a box makes it safe so i think I've gone wrong somwhere.
