Question

Assertion : 94 Sr from the radioactive fall out from a nuclear bomb ends up in the bones of human beings through the milk consumed by them. It causes impairment of the production of red blood cells. Reason : The energetics β -particles emitted in the decay of 94 Sr damage the bone marrow.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

94 Sr from 235 U fission is absorbed through milk. Their emission of β − particles will damage the bone-marrow as Sr is absorbed in bones.
