A large amount of 90/38 Sr was released during the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident in 1986. The 90/38Sr enters the body through the food chain. How long will it take for 83 % of the 90/38Sr released during the accident to decay? See Appendix F in the textbook. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

After the sudden release of radioactivity from the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident in 1986, the radioactivity of milk in one region of Poland rose to 1450 Bq/L due to iodine-131 present in the grass eaten by dairy cattle. (Note that the radioactivity was higher in other regions of Poland.) Radioactive iodine, with half-life 8.04 days, is particularly hazardous because the thyroid gland concentrates iodine. The Chernobyl accident causeda measurable increase in thyroid cancers among children in Belarus. (a) For comparison,...

(4 points) The half-life of radioactive strontium-90 is approximately 32 years. In 1964, radioactive strontium-90 was released into the atmosphere during testing of nuclear weapons, and was absorbed into people's bones. How many years does it take until only 9 percent of the original amount absorbed remains? time = 1 years

The Fukushima nuclear reactor accident caused the environmental release of significant amounts of radioactive caesium (Cs) isotopes. Specifically, caesium-134 and caesium- 137, which have half-lives of, respectively, two years and 30 years. The survey of soil radioactivity conducted in June 2011 revealed soil surface Cs-134 activity of about 500,000 Bq/m2 in the town of Okuma (roughly 10 km from the stricken power plant) and Cs-137 activity of roughly the same level. Disregarding any other changes or cleanup efforts since then,...

a component of nuclear fallout from atmospheric tests of nuclear bombs, falls to the ground 90, and crops. When ingested, it can replace calcium in cow's and mother's milk and can be into the bones of developing young animals and children. Strontium-90 decays by beta to yttrium-90 with a half-life of 29 years. (The energy release accompanying this beta decay can s a dust on grass gger leukemia in the bone marrow and other...

One radioactive material that is produced in atomic bombs is the isotope strontium-90, which has a half-life of 28 years. If a person is exposed to strontium-90, it can collect in human bone tissue, where it can cause leukemia and other cancers. If an atomic bomb test site is contaminated by strontium-90, how long will it take for the radioactive material to decay to 30% of the original amount? (Round the growth factor to eight decimal numbers. Round your answer...

Many radioisotopes have important industrial, medical, and research applications. One of these is 60Co, which has a half-life of 5.20 years and decays by the emission of a beta particle (energy 0.310 MeV) and two gamma photons (energies 1.17 MeV and 1.33 MeV). A scientist wishes to prepare a 60Co sealed source that will have an activity of at least 11.9 Ci after 47.0 months of use. a) If the activity is 11.9 Ci, how many 60Co atoms are in...
