After the initial cleanup effort at Three Mile Island, approximately 400,000 gallons of radioactive water remained in the basement of the containment building of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 nuclear plant. The principal sources of this radioactivity were 137Cs at 156 J,t Cilcm3 and 134Cs at 26 J,tCilcm3 How many atoms per cm3 of these radio nuclides were in the water at that time?
