So here's a fun question: is anyone out there more well-versed than I am in analyzing Nuclear Decay Schemes of radiological materials?
I would like to point something out in an upcoming talk but this is above my pay grade.
No, my next upcoming talk is not at a nuclear power plant, heh.
I'll check back shortly to see replies, but basically I'm curious if there's a way to highlight or call attention to the decay scheme charts in order to demonstrate the difference in emissions and power output from Cobalt-60 vs Iridium-192
Heh, I should have asked the folk at Los Alamos about this when i was there, lol
@deviantollam Let's see, Iridium-192 has a half life of 73.83 days and 1459.7keV β decay, Cobalt-60 has a half life of 5.27 years and 2823.9 keV β decay, and they both decay to stable isotopes.
