- 10.
- A.
The parent nuclide always has a shorter half-life than the daughter nuclide.
- B.
If the half-life of the parent nuclide is 50 times greater than the half-life of the daughter nuclide, the equilibrium portion of the activity curve is basically flat and is categorized as “secular” equilibrium.
- C.
The parent nuclide is less tightly bound to the column than the daughter nuclide
- D.
None of the above
- 11.Technetium-99m and molybdenum-99 are good examples of which type of equilibrium?
- A.
Transient equilibrium in which the parent half-life is 10 to 100 times that of the daughter.
- B.
Secular equilibrium in which the parent half-life is more than 100 times that of the daughter.
- 12.Of the three types of impurities present in a Tc-99m elution, which QC test for these impurities is optional?
- A.
Mo-99 Breakthrough to test for radionuclidic impurity.
- B.
Hydrolyzed Reduced Tc to test for radiochemical impurity.
