Assertion: 90Sr from the radioactive fall out from a nuclear bomb ends up in the bones of human beings through the milk consumed by them. It causes impairment of production of red blood cells.
Reason: The energies β-particles emitted in the decay of 90Sr damage the bone marrow.

The operation of a nuclear reactor is said to be critical, if the multiplication factor ( K ) has a value
1
1.5
2.1

The multiplication factor (k) is an important reactor parameter and is an important reactor parameter and is the ratio of the number of neutrons present at the beginning of a particular generation to the number present at the beginning of the next generation. It is the measure of the growth rate of the neutrons in the reactor. For k = 1, the operation of the reactor ia said to be critical.
Note: If k becomes greater than one, the reaction rate and the reactor power increases exponentially. Unless the factor k is brought down very close to unity, the reactor will become supercritical and can even explode.
The foil bone has a 14C : 12C ratio, which is [ 1/16 ] of that in a living animal bone. If the half-life time of 14C is 5730 years, then the age of the fossil bone is
11460 years
17190 years
22920 years
45840 years
