If is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year , and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then
Let be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then
or simply
So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately
or about 28% of the original amount.
We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,
where is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount decays after 1 year, so that
Then after 50 years, we have
