99.999% pure… and the spectrum STILL tells another story...?
This sample contains Technetium-99, one of the longest-lived fission products created in nuclear reactors! And even after extreme purification, tiny traces of Cesium-137 from spent nuclear fuel processing are still visible in the spectrum, using the Radiacode 103G. Pretty fascinating, right?
