Radioactive decay is a statisticle process i.e., we cannot precisely predict the timing of a particular radioactivity of a particular nucleus . The nucleus can disintegrate immediately or it may take infinite time . Simply the probability of the number of nuclei being disintegrated at any instant can be predicted . the rate at which a particular decay process in a radioactive sample is directly proportional to the number of radioactive nuclei present and thus obeys first order kinetics . the factor dN/N expresses the fraction of nuclei decayed in time dt. t_(1//2) is the time in which half of the atoms are decayed and average life is the time for the nucleus to survive before decay . A freshly prepared radioactive source of half period 2 hour emits radiations on intensity which is 64 times of the permissible safe level. The minimum time after which it would be possible to work with this source is :
