It is equally radioactive as it was 10 years ago, but now there is half of it left.
While i am very supportive of nuclear power, this idea of half-life seems misunderstood. what remains is just as radioactive... Just now there is less of it.

- ascar 6y agoIf there are half as many radioactive isotopes left then the material is also half as radioactive, as radioactivity is measured in decays per second (Becquerel [1]). [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becquerel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becquerel
