Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for reporting the identity of the radioisotopes rather than the amount of radioactive release has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Isotopes are variants of same element having same atomic number and different mass number.

Radioisotopes are isotopes with unstable nuclei and release radiation in order to get stability.

Half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken to decay half of the amount of that material into a stable product.
