9.

Which of the following statements are true about radionuclide generators?
- 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.

  Secular equilibrium in which the parent half-life is more than 100 times that of the daughter.
11.

During an equilibrium state within a 99Mo–99mTc generator, the total activity of 99mTc is always less than the total activity of 99Mo because 14% of 99Mo decays directly to 99Tc, bypassing the metastable state.
