Radiation
• Radiation comes from the nucleus of an atom.
• Unstable nucleus emits a particle or energy

Gamma γ Radiation
• Pure radiation
• Like an X-ray but comes from the nucleus

Radiation Protection
• Shielding
alpha – paper, clothing
beta – lab coat, gloves
gamma- lead, thick concrete• Limit time exposed• Keep distance from source

Learning Check NR3
The half life of I-123 is 13 hr. How much of a 64 mg sample of I-123 is left after 26 hours?

Solution NR3
t1/2 = 13 hrs
26 hours = 2 x t1/2
Amount initial = 64mg
Amount remaining = 64 mg x ½ x ½
= 16 mg
