Solution: Strontium-90 is produced as a nuclear fission
Chapter , Problem 72(choose chapter or problem)
Strontium-90 is produced as a nuclear fission product ofuranium in both reactors and atomic bombs. Look at itslocation in the Periodic Table to see what other elements itmight be similar to chemically, and tell why you think itmight be dangerous to ingest. It has too many neutrons, andit decays with a half-life of about 29 yr. How long will wehave to wait for the amount of ^Sr on the Earths surfaceto reach 1% of its current level, assuming no new material isscattered about? Write down the decay reaction, includingthe daughter nucleus. The daughter is radioactive: writedown its decay.
