Strontium-90, a radioactive isotope, is a by-product of nuclear reactors and present in nuclear fallout. It has a half-life of 28 years. It is absorbed by bone tissue instead of calcium and can destroy bone marrow and cause cancer. However, it is also useful as it is one of the best high-energy beta-emitters known. It can be used to generate electricity for space vehicles, remote weather stations and navigation buoys.
Strontium is a chemical element with symbol Sr and atomic number 38. An alkaline earth metal, strontium is a soft silver-white or yellowish metallic element that is highly reactive chemically.The metal turns yellow when it is exposed to air.0Sr has been used as a power source for radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs). 90 Sr produces approximately 0.93 watts of heat per gram (it is lower for the form of 90 Sr used in RTGs, which is strontium fluoride).
