The radioactive waste can be stored for decay and then safely released into the environment is N-16.
<h3>What are the types of decay?</h3>
Decays can be of three types: alpha, beta and gamma. Each of them corresponds to a different radioactive particle, which changes the nucleus of the emitting atom according to its characteristics.
Nitrogen 16 ( 16 N ) is the unstable isotope of nitrogen whose nucleus consists of 7 protons and 9 neutrons. Its period is 7.13 s.
