Decay Nuclear fission product
the external gamma dose person in open near chernobyl disaster site.
the portion of total radiation dose (in air) contributed each isotope versus time after chernobyl disaster, @ site thereof. note image drawn using data oecd report, , second edition of radiochemical manual .
for fission of uranium-235, predominant radioactive fission products include isotopes of iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon , barium. threat becomes smaller passage of time. locations radiation fields once posed immediate mortal threats, such of chernobyl nuclear power plant on day 1 of accident , ground 0 sites of u.s. atomic bombings in japan (6 hours after detonation) relatively safe because radioactivity has decayed low level. many of fission products decay through short-lived isotopes form stable isotopes, considerable number of radioisotopes have half-lives longer day.
the radioactivity in fission product mixture caused short lived isotopes such iodine-131 , ba; after 4 months ce, zr/nb , sr take largest share, while after 2 or 3 years largest share taken ce/pr, ru/rh , pm. later sr , cs main radioisotopes, being succeeded tc. in case of release of radioactivity power reactor or used fuel, elements released; result, isotopic signature of radioactivity different open air nuclear detonation, fission products dispersed.
