Ordered By Halflife
Yield | Isotope | Halflife | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
2.8336% | 131I | 8.02d | Important in nuclear explosions and accidents but not in cooled spent nuclear fuel |
0.3912% | 106Ru | 373.6d | |
6.7896% | 133Cs → 134Cs | 2.065y | neutron capture converts a few percent of nonradioactive 133Cs to 134Cs, which has low direct yield because beta decay stops at 134Xe |
2.2713% | 147Pm | 2.62y | |
0.0297% | 125Sb | 2.76y | |
<0.0330% | 155Eu → 155Gd | 4.76y | both neutron poisons, most will be destroyed by neutron capture while still in reactor |
0.2717% | 85Kr | 10.78y | Current nuclear reprocessing releases it to atmosphere |
<0.0003% | 113mCd | 14.1y | most will be destroyed by neutron capture while still in reactor |
5.7518% | 90Sr | 28.9y | One of two principal medium-term radiation and heat sources |
6.0899% | 137Cs | 30.17y | One of two principal medium-term radiation and heat sources |
<0.4203% | 151Sm | 90y | Most will be destroyed by neutron capture while still in reactor |
6.0507% | 99Tc | 211ky | Dominant radiation source among FP in period about ×104 to ×106 years; mobile in environment; candidate for disposal by nuclear transmutation |
0.0236% | 126Sn | 230ky | |
0.0508% | 79Se | 327ky | |
6.2956% | 93Zr | 1.53My | |
<6.3333% | 135Cs | 2.3My | |
0.1629% | 107Pd | 6.5My | |
0.6576% | 129I | 15.7My | Mobile in environment; candidate for disposal by nuclear transmutation |
<1.0888% | 149Sm | nonradioactive | neutron poison |
<0.0065% | 157Gd | nonradioactive | neutron poison |

Famous quotes containing the word ordered:
“According to our social pyramid, all men who feel displaced racially, culturally, and/or because of economic hardships will turn on those whom they feel they can order and humiliate, usually women, children, and animalsjust as they have been ordered and humiliated by those privileged few who are in power. However, this definition does not explain why there are privileged men who behave this way toward women.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
