Radiographic Testing Module 3

The document contains 15 multiple choice questions about isotopes and radioactive decay. It tests knowledge about artificially created isotopes, properties of depleted uranium, gamma ray energies of different isotopes, radioactive decay mechanisms, isotope decay equations and products, half-life calculations for various isotopes, stable elements that isotopes decay to, gamma ray energies of Cobalt-60, suitable isotopes for radiography of different materials, and intensity calculations for isotopes. The document also provides the corrections to the questions.
