Radioactive krypton-81 is the product of spallation reactions with cosmic rays striking gases present in the Earth atmosphere, along with the six stable or nearly stable krypton isotopes. [11] Krypton-81 has a half-life of about 229,000 years. Krypton-81 is used for dating ancient (50,000- to 800,000-year-old) groundwater and to determine their ...
Krypton-85 (85 Kr) is a radioisotope of krypton.. Krypton-85 has a half-life of 10.756 years and a maximum decay energy of 687 keV. [1] It decays into stable rubidium-85.Its most common decay (99.57%) is by beta particle emission with a maximum energy of 687 keV and an average energy of 251 keV.
Fission product yields by mass for thermal neutron fission of U-235 and Pu-239 (the two typical of current nuclear power reactors) and U-233 (used in the thorium cycle). This page discusses each of the main elements in the mixture of fission products produced by nuclear fission of the common nuclear fuels uranium and plutonium.
This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds. [1]
Naturally occurring krypton in Earth's atmosphere is composed of five stable isotopes, plus one isotope (78 Kr) with such a long half-life (9.2×10 21 years) that it can be considered stable. (This isotope has the third-longest known half-life among all isotopes for which decay has been observed; it undergoes double electron capture to 78 Se ).
Of the 26 "monoisotopic" elements that have only a single stable isotope, all but one have an odd atomic number—the single exception being beryllium. In addition, no odd-numbered element has more than two stable isotopes, while every even-numbered element with stable isotopes, except for helium, beryllium, and carbon, has at least three.
