The isotope 252Cf is a very strong neutron source; some applications are:
- neutron's detectors for water and petroleum
- control of nuclear fuel rods
- treatment of some cancers by neutron irradiation
- neutron radiography in industry
- neutron activation analysis in mobile installations
What else can I help you with?
Where californium usually found?
Californium is a man made element; usually found in nuclear physics/radiochemistry laboratories.
What is californium oxychloride used for?
Californium oxychloride is primarily used in scientific research for studying the behavior of californium and its properties. It may also have potential applications in nuclear reactor control rods and neutron detectors due to californium's ability to emit neutrons.
What countries use californium?
Detectors for water using californium-252 are now used in many countries around the world.
Can californium pass through solids?
Not californium, but neutrons emitted by californium.
How many stable isotopes are in the element californium?
All the isotopes of californium are radioactive, artificial and unstable.
Is californium deadly?
Californium is radioactive and a strong neutrons emitter; californium can be lethal.
How many protons californium has?
Californium has 98 protons.
Do they use californium in nuclear bombs?
Californium is not typically used in nuclear bombs due to its high cost and limited availability. Nuclear bombs typically use plutonium or uranium as the fissile material for the explosive chain reaction. Californium is used more commonly in research and medical applications due to its ability to produce neutrons.
Is californium a metalloid?
Californium is a metal.
What is the flammability of californium?
Californium is not flammable.
Is californium metalic?
Californium is a metal.
Is californium crucial?
Californium is not crucial.
