Spent nuclear fuel and many areas where nuclear reactor materials have been accidentally released to the environment mainly contain quantities of two radioactive isotopes, strontium 90 (90Sr) and cesium 137 (137Cs). A nuclear underground waste storage tank contains 100 curies of each of these two isotopes. Plot the activity of each as they decay over the next 500 years. How much of each will remain after 300 years? Use half-lives from this web site: http://atom.kaeri.re.kr:81/ton/index.html
