State the detonation of the first fission bombs

Reference no: EM13172785

One of the fission products that causes major concern is Sr-90, since it is incorporated into milk and other high-calcium foods. Sr-90 undergoes beta decay with a half-life of 28.1 years. What percentage of the Sr-90 that was formed in the detonation of the first fission bombs in August 1945 is still present in the environment in August 1982.
