Data from the appendices and the periodic table may be needed for these problems. Mantles for gas lanterns contain thorium, because it forms an oxide that can survive being heated to incandescence for long periods of time. Natural thorium is almost 100% 232Th.
Consider an initial amount of 708g of radioactive material with half-life h=3.2hdays. Use a spreadsheet to record the initial amount (at day 0) and to calculate the amounts left at 1day intervals, up to day 10 included. What is the average amount of material over the time interval from day 0 to day 10? Round your answer to the nearest integer:

Lungile, a radio-pharmacist based at iThemba LABS, measures the activity of a specific isotope with a Geiger counter and it shows 200 counts per minute at 12h00. At 15h00, Lungile notices a huge decrease in activity and the the Geiger counter now only records 25 counts per minute. NOW Use the counts/minute to determine the half-life of this radioactive isotope? FULLY EXPLAIN your choice under the RATIONALE section below! A. 3 hours B. 8 hours C. 1 hour D. 2 hours
I asked this question once and the answer returned was correct, but I couldn't follow the work so I'm hoping you can write it more clearly: A proposed nuclear reactor facility will have an electrical power output of 805 MW with a 30.2% efficiency in converting nuclear to electrical power. Assuming the average fission reaction produces 227 MeV, how many reactions will take place at the facility every second?
A particle has γ=18,399. a) Calculate c-v in m/s. (I would have asked for 1 - v/c, making the answer dimensionless, but the system doesn't seem to take numbers that small. Gamma is chosen to make the particle extremely close to the speed of light.) If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1 - v/c) and use an approximation. b) In a race to the moon, by 3/4ths the distance, light is one or ten meters ahead of the particle. We routinely approximate mass as zero, gamma as infinite, and speed as the speed of light. ("Massless particles" -- gamma and m have to be eliminated from the expressions. Light is a true massless particle.) If a massless particle has momentum 1,739 MeV/c, calculate its energy in MeV. Thank you so much!!
