Write the balanced nuclear reaction for the decay of iodine-137 to xenon-137.
Write the balanced nuclear reaction for the decay of xenon-137 to cesium-137.
You will research how the energy is extracted or produced and try to be very
detailed about the process and the chemistry involved (stating equations and
reactions). You will also research the impact on the environment when using
or producing fuels.
