Nuclear waste disposal is one of the largest issues with nuclear power. Cesium-137 is one of the high level waste products in an

uranium nuclear fission reaction. Safely disposing of Cs-137 is extremely important due both to this isotope's long half-life, 30.07 years, and it ability to substitute for potassium in biological reactions. A 5.2 mg sample of Cs-137 requires half-lives to decay to 0.65 mg. After 150 years, of Cs-137 remains. After 6 half-lives, of Cs-137 remains. After years, 0.0102 mg of Cs-137 remains. Finally, after approximately 601 years - half-lives, only of the Cs-137 remains.

Answer:

A sample of 5.2 mg  decays to .65 mg or to 1/8 of its original amount.

1/8 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 3 half-lives.

3 * 30.07 = 90 yrs for 5.2 mg to decay to .65 mg

You can get these other numbers similarly:

5.2 / .0102 = 510  requires about 9  half-lives which is 30 * 9 = 270 yrs
