90Sr is a particularly dangerous nuclide formed from the fission of 235U in atomic bombs because it can readily enter the food chain by replacing calcium in plants or animals. If the rate constant for the decay of 90Sr is 0.0274 yr-1, approximately how long will it take for 99.0% of a sample of 90Sr to decay?
A) 168 years
B) 52.0 years
C) 452 years
D) 195 years
E) none of the above
