Nuclear reactor accident


Strontium 38Sr90 has a half-life of 29.1 yr. It is chemically similar to calcium, enters the body through the food chain, and collects in the bones. Consequently, 38Sr90 is a particularly serious health hazard. How long (in years) will it take for 99.9778% of the 38Sr90 released in a nuclear reactor accident to disappear?
