pattern - What is an Energetic Transmitter Word™?


This is in the spirit of the What is a Word/Phrase™ series started by JLee with a special brand of Phrase™ and Word™ puzzles.


If a word conforms to a special rule, I call it an Energetic Transmitter Word™.


Use the following examples below to find the rule.

Answer



I think an ETW is one that




contains the letters of a radioactive element (i.e., one with no stable isotope).



Specifics, which also explain why IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC is extremely energetic:



AUDIOGRAM: RADIUM
BUCKMINSTERFULLERENE: BERKELIUM
COMMUNICABLE: NOBELIUM
COMPULSION: POLONIUM
DRAGON: RADON

DUMBFOUNDING: DUBNIUM
ENTHUSIASM: HASSIUM
HOMEBUILDER: BOHRIUM
IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE: FERMIUM
MICROFAUNA: FRANCIUM
MOUNTAINEERING: ROENTGENIUM
TANTALIZES: ASTATINE
UNIMAGINATIVENESS: EINSTEINIUM
IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC: CURIUM
IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC: TECHNETIUM

IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC: ACTINIUM
(and there are, so Engineer Toast assures me and I have no trouble believing, several others that likewise go into IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC besides those three)



I confess I haven't checked all the non-ETWs.
