← ScienceWhich consequence results when material fatigue accelerates Strontium-90 decay?
A)Material's half-life remains effectively unchanged
B)Increased beta emission causes charged surface✓
C)Neutrino flux diminishes proportionally
D)Reduced gamma radiation exposure to staff
💡 Explanation
Increased decay rates cause higher beta emission because beta decay governs Strontium-90's radioactive transformation. This, therefore, charges the material's surface, rather than change the intrinsic decay rates; neutrino and gamma effects are negligible.
