The alpha particle given off during the radioactive decay of americium-241 is absorbed by beryllium-9, producing carbon-12 and a neutron. Such devices can be used for the nondestructive testing of machinery and equipment and for other industrial applications.
226 Ra is the most stable isotope of radium and is the last isotope in the (4 n + 2) decay chain of uranium-238 with a half-life of over a century. Its immediate decay product is the dense radioactive noble gas radon, which is responsible for much of the danger of environmental radium.26 Ra is the most stable isotope of radium and is the last isotope in the (4 n + 2) decay chain of uranium-238 with a half-life of over a century.
