Options
- A0.7814 μg of 90 Sr will remain after 10 years and 0.227 μg of 90 Sr will remain after 60 years
- B0.7814 μg of 90 Sr will remain after 10 years and 0.7814 μg of 90 Sr will remain after 60 years
- C0.227 μg of 90 Sr will remain after 10 years and 0.227 μg of 90 Sr will remain after 60 years
- D0.227 μg of 90 Sr will remain after 10 years and 0.7814 μg of 90 Sr will remain after 60 years
