The right answer is 28 years.

The half-life, or period of a radioactive isotope, is the time required for half of the nuclei of this isotope initially present to decay naturally.

One gram of pure 90 strontium has a radioactivity of 5.11 TBq. Its beta radiation is not penetrating, which makes it difficult to measure when it is in the soil or a matrix. It is very harmful when the particle is inhaled or ingested.

The half life is exactly what it means. We want to know how many years it takes for the Strontium-90 to go from 100% to 50% to 25% etc

An example of a false negative is taking an HIV test and having the test come back negative to say the patient is clean, but in reality they have HIV. Another example of a false negative is a woman taking a pregnancy test saying "not pregnant" (i.e. test is negative), but she actually is pregnant. Between those two examples, it is better to have a false negative pregnancy test because it is non life threatening.

A false positive example would be getting bad news you have cancer, when you actually don't have cancer. Another false positive example is a test saying you have a cold virus, when in actuality you don't. The first example mentioned would have the patient likely go through intense chemo treatments which would greatly affect their livelihood. The second example is a more harmless false positive as it would involve at most a flu shot if anything.
