The perfect demonstration of half life decay. The isotope used in the protactinium generator decays in a matter of 10–15 minutes allowing half life decay to be easily observed within a standard lesson time. The generator is completely sealed in a robust enclosure. The main two components of generator are uranyl nitrate and an organic solvent. These two components separate into two distinct layers that when shaken together produce a radioactive isotope with a half life of about 1 minute. Radioactive decay is observed using a GM tube and counter (or equivalent) which should be purchased separately.
