Synthesis of Di-Tert-Butyldicyclohexyl-18-Crown-6 and Its Extraction of Strontium
90Sr(T1/2=28.9 a) is a highly toxic nuclide with high heat release and strong exothermic properties, and the content of 90Sr in radioactive waste must be accurately measured before disposal.

Validation of Geant4-based Radioactive Decay Simulation
Radioactive decays are of concern in a wide variety of applications using Monte-Carlo simulations. In order to properly estimate the quality of such simulations, knowledge of the accuracy of the decay simulation is required.
