Chapter 19, Problem 72AE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Half-life of plutonium- 239 is given. Time required for it to decrease its activity to 0.1% of its original value is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The process in which a given nucleus undergoes decomposition leading to the formation of another nucleus is known as radioactive decay. The cause of instability of a nuclide is its inefficiency in holding the nucleus together. Half-life of plutonium is very long.

To determine: Time required for it to decrease its activity to 0.1% of its original value.
