18 The radioactive isotope carbon-14 undergoes decay with a half-life of 5730 years.While an organism is living, it takes in carbon from the atmosphere and the ratio of carbon-14 to the stable isotope carbon-12 in the organism is constant. After death the ratio changes, as the carbon-...

long half-lifehigh mobilityenvironmentradionuclideWith its long half-life (5730 years) and high mobility in the environment, 14C is a radionuclide of considerable interest in nuclear power production. Carbon-14 is present in virtually all parts of nuclear reactor primary system and has a high ...
A typical activation product in the activated metal waste is carbon 14 (14C), which is mainly generated by the 14N(n,p)14C reaction and produces a significant exposure dose due to the large inventory, long half-life (5730 years), rapid release rate, and the speciation and consequent ...
(Archaeology) a technique for determining the age of organic materials, such as wood, based on their content of the radioisotope14C acquired from the atmosphere when they formed part of a living plant. The14C decays to the nitrogen isotope14N with a half-life of 5730 years. Measurement of ...
Radioisotopes with half-lives shorter than one million years are also produced: for example, carbon-14 by cosmic ray production in the atmosphere (half-life 5730 years). El radioactius amb períodes de semidesintegració més petits d'un milió d'anys també es produeixen: per exemple, ca...
Carbon-14 (14C) is a pure beta-emitting radionuclide with a half-life of 5730 卤 30 y. Considering the long half-life and its biological importance, significant attention is given to monitoring 14C in the vicinity of nuclear facilities. The 14C measurement technique employed b...
Being a low energy beta emitter, 14C is not a significant external radiation hazard, but the internal consequences posed by 14C are important, especially because of its long half life of 5730 years [46]. The current biokinetic model recommended by the International Commission on Radiological ...
