• Tritium - is a rare and radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Tritium is used as the energy
source in radioluminescent lights for watches, gun sights, numerous instruments and
tools, and even novelty items such as self-illuminating key chains. It is used in a
medical and scientific setting as a radioactive tracer. Tritium is also used as a nuclear
fusion fuel, along with more abundant deuterium, in tokamak reactors and in hydrogen
bombs.
Recognize Common Isotopes and their Uses
• Oxygen-16 - O-16 is used in the production of radioactive N-13 which is used
for PET imaging and myocardial perfusion.
• Oxygen-18 - Large quantities of O-18 are used for the production of F-18. F-
18 is used to produce 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) which is used as a
tracer in positron emission tomography or PET. Millions of these FDG-PET
medical procedures are performed annually to investigate a range of diseases in
various human organs.
Recognize Common Isotopes and their Uses
• Chlorine-37 - Chlorine-36 has been widely used for dating old ground water.
It is also used for production of Sulphur-38 (38S isotope, S-38 isotope, Sulfur-38
isotope) radionuclide (radioisotope) for usage as a corrosion tracer (Industrial
uses of radioisotopes and enriched isotopes);
