The purpose of producing 99Mo (usually by neutron activation of natural molybdenum, as in the preceding problem) is to produce 99mTc. Using the rules, verily that the decay of 99Mo produces 99mTc. (Most 99mTc nuclei produced in this decay are left in a metastable excited state denoted 99mTc.)
(a) Show that if you assume the average nucleus is spherical with a radius r=r0A1/3, and with a mass at A u, then its density is independent at A. (b) Calculate that density in u/fm3 and kg/m3, and compare your results with those found in Example 31.1 for 56Fe.
The RBE for lowenergy s is 1.7, whereas that for higher-energy s is only 1. Explain why, considering how the range of radiation depends on its energy.
(a) Calculate the radius of 58Ni, one of the most tightly bound stable nuclei. (b) What is the ratio of the radius of 58Ni to that at 258Ha, one of the largest nuclei ever made? Note that the radius of the largest nucleus is still much smaller than ?le size of an atom.
A neutron generator uses an (source, such as radium, to bombard beryllium, inducing the reaction 4He+9Be12C+n. Such neutron sources are called RaBe sources, 0r PuBe sources if they use plutonium to get the (s. Calculate the energy output of the reaction in MeV.
(a) If the average molecular mass of compounds in food is 50.0 g, how many molecules are mere in 1.00 kg at food? (b) How many ion pairs are created in 1.00 kg of food, if it is exposed to 1000 Sv and it takes 32.0 eV to create an ion pair? (c) Find the ratio of ion pairs to molecules. (d) If these ion pairs recombine into a distribution of 2000 new compounds, how many parts per billion is each?
Data from the appendices and the periodic table may be needed for these problems. A 5000Ci 60Co source used for cancer therapy is considered too weak to be useful when its activity falls to 3500 Ci. How long after its manufacture does this happen?
In a 3109 yearold rock that originally contained some 238U, which has a halflife of 4.5109 years, we expect to find some 238U remaining in it. Why are 226Ra, 222Rn, and 210Po also found in such a rock, even though they have much shorter halflives (1600 years, 3.8 days, and 133 days, respectively)?
Isotopes that emit (radiation are relatively safe outside the body and exceptionally hazardous inside. Yet those that emit (radiation are hazardous outside and inside. Explain why.
What is the mass of 60Co in a cancer therapy transillumination unit containing 5.00 kCi of 60Co?
(a) Calculate the number of grams of deuterium in an 80.000L swimming pool, given deuterium is 0.0150% of natural hydrogen. (b) Find the energy released in joules if this deuterium is fused via the reaction 2H+2H3He+n. (c) Could the neutrons be used to create more energy? (d) Discuss the amount of this type of energy in a swimming pool as compared to that in, say, a gallon of gasoline, also taking into consideration that water is far more abundant.
Integrated Concepts: (a) What temperature gas would have atoms moving fast enough to bring two 3He nuclei into contact? Note that, because both are moving, the average kinetic energy only needs to be half the electric potential energy of these doubly charged nuclei when just in contact with one another. (b) Does this high temperature imply practical difficulties for doing this in controlled fusion?
