The rate at which radioactive substances decay is known to be proportional to the number of such nuclei that are present in a given sample. In a certain sample 10% of the original number of radioactive nuclei have undergone disintegration in a period of 100 years. Find what percentage of the original radioactive nuclei will remain after 1000 years.

Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetic. The mean life and half-life of nuclear decay process are tau = 1// lambda and t_(1//2) = 0.693//lambda . Therefore are a number of radioactive elements in nature, their abundance is directly proportional to half life. The amount remaining after n half lives of radioactive elements can be calculated using the relation: N = N_(0) ((1)/(2))^(n) Half life of .^(60)Co is 5.3 years, the time taken for 99.9% decay will be
