Re: A once in a lifetime opportunity



May you live long long time, Leigh. And tell your students you are glad
they counted neutrons right. One neutron less in each Tc atom and you
would remain radioactive for 1.5e^6 years. And even a correct number of
neutrons would produce a very long half-life (210,000 years) if the nuclei
were in the ground state.
