A small bottle contains powdered beryllium Be & gaseous radon which is used as a source of α-particles. Neutrons are produced when α-particles of the radon react with beryllium. The yield of this reaction is 14000 i.e. only one α-particle out of 4000 induced the reaction. Find the amount of radon Rn222 originally introduced into the, source, if it produces 1.2×106 neutrons per second after 7.6 days. T12 of Rn=3.8 days]

A radionuclide with disintegration constant λ is produced in a reactor at a constant rate α nuclei per sec. During each decay energy E0 is released. 20% of this energy is utilised in increasing the temperature of water. Find the increase in temperature of m mass of water in time t. Specific heat of water is S. Assume that there is no loss of energy through water surface.
