During the nuclear explosion, one of the products is 90 Sr with half life of 6 .93 years. If 1 μ g of 90 Sr was absorbed in the bones of a newly born baby in place of Ca , how much time (in years) is required to reduce it by 90%, if it is not lost metabolically? Report your answer by rounding it up to a nearest whole number.
