Plutonium 39PU is an unstable nuclei and decays with a half-life r= 2.4
x 10' years by producing smaller nuclei including an alpha particle.
Find the alpha particle flux density (number of the alpha particles per
unit area per unit time) near the surface of a large plate of 239 Pu having
thickness d = 1 mm. Density of plutonium is p= 19800 kg/m³ and mass
of an atom of 239Pu is mo = 3.84 × 10-25 kg.
