The Plutonium isotope 239Pu has a half-life of 24,000 years and decays by the emission of a 5.2 MeV alpha particle. Plutonium is not especially dangerous if handled because the activity is low, and the alpha radiation doesn’t penetrate the skin. However, there can be serious health concerns if the tiniest particles are inhaled and lodge deep in the lungs. This could happen following any kind of fire or explosion that disperses Plutonium as dust. a) (3 pts.) Soot particles...

Given data: Ln2=0.693, 1Ci=3,7.1010 des/s 140Ba radionuclide with half-life Tp=306 hours decays to its daughter 140La with a half-life of Td=40.3 hours and to stable granddaughter 140Ce. The scheme of the decay is illustrated as follows: 140Ba → 140La → 140Ce The parent, 140Ba, has an initial activity of A0=5mCi. The initial number of nuclei (at t=0) of the daughter 140La is N0 = 0, and tm is the time when the daughter activity reaches its maximum value. The equations of...
