Technetium-99: Art, Standards & Products

Technetium-99 (99Tc) is an isotope of technetium that decays with a half-life of 211,000 years to stable ruthenium-99, emitting beta particles, but effectively no gamma rays. It is the most significant long-lived fission product of uranium fission, and the largest single contributor to the long-lived radioactivity of nuclear waste. Technetium-99 has a…
