Ironically that also creates the problem that the isotope must be made close to where it will be used as its half life is so short, which could see a nuclear reactor near built up areas.badhairday said:benefits- short half-life of 15 hours so it doesnt cause long term damage to the environment.
Yeah, short halflife only lessens the impact, not removing it.xiao1985 said:for radio isotopes, u can always say that the radioactivity may be hazardous to environment and people near it... has the ability to cause cancer, permanently poison the environment etc...
That is more to do with the strength of the radiation rather than the half life.Dreamerish*~ said:Advantage - It has a short half-life, therefore the water would not be made radioactive after testing has been completed.
