Which limitation will eventually occur in a long-lived Rubidium-82 generator used for PET scans?

A)Strontium-82 activity surpasses Rubidium✓

B)Generator column radiation damage increases

C)Elution efficiency catastrophically decreases

D)Breakthrough of Krypton-82 becomes significant

💡 Explanation

Strontium-82, which decays to Rubidium-82, has a much longer half-life, so eventually its activity will outpace the decaying Rubidium-82 because it represents a limitation in the parent material; therefore activity levels invert, rather than other process limitations.
