Essay content:

It is made in very small quantities through a nuclear reaction of bismuth. Neutron irradiation of 209bismuth (atomic number 83) gives 210polonium (atomic number 84). 209Bi + 1n ?? 210Po + e- Polonium-210, 210Po, transmutes into the lead isotope 206Pb by the emission of an ??-particle. The half-life for this process is just over 138 days meaning that after 138 days one-half of the original 210Po has disappeared and after 2 times 138 days 3/4 has gone...
