In a nuclear reactor the activity of a radioactive substance is \(2000 / \mathrm{s}\). If the mean life of the products is 50 minutes, then in the steady power generation, the number of radio nuclides is

  1. A \(12 \times 10^5\)
  2. B \(60 \times 10^5\)
  3. C \(90 \times 10^5\)
  4. D \(15 \times 10^5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(60 \times 10^5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, nuclear reactor the activity of a radioactive substance, \(\frac{d N}{d t}=2000 / \mathrm{s}\) and mean-life of the products, \(\begin{aligned} \tau & =50 \mathrm{~min} \\ & =50 \times 60 \mathrm{sec} \end{aligned}\) Now, the mean-life of the radioactive substance is…
