(a). Explain the term genetic or generational effect as applied to radiation effects on living organisms. (1.5 points) (b). Balance the following equation and identify the missing radionuclide (1.5 points). 23592U → ? + 42He Calculate the binding energy (to 4 significant figures) of the above nuclear reaction. Take mass of 235U = 235.04392 u, mass of 231Th = 231.03630 U and mass 4He = 4.00151u (3.0 points) (c). Technetium -99 (99 Tc) isotope has a half-life of 6.0 hours. A 360-gram sample of 99 Tc is prepared and shipped to a facility for use. On arrival the mass was 90-grams. How long did it take the sample to get the facility? (3.0 points)
