| 21. | The project mainly addresses sources containing americium and plutonium.
|
| 22. | Pu-244 undergoes beta emission to form americium?
|
| 23. | Individual detectors pose no risk, but large stockpiles of americium at factories could.
|
| 24. | Americium often enters landfills from discarded smoke detectors.
|
| 25. | Other fungi like oyster mushrooms can bioremediate plutonium-239 and americium-241.
|
| 26. | Cesium-137 or americium-241.
|
| 27. | Atmospheric americium compounds are poorly soluble in common solvents and mostly adhere to soil particles.
|
| 28. | They checked for different radioactive substances including gamma emitters, plutonium, americium and strontium.
|
| 29. | These are actinides other than uranium and plutonium and include neptunium, americium and curium.
|
| 30. | Americium should therefore be separated, usually chemically, from newly produced and reprocessed plutonium.
