Abstract:
Carbon-14 has long been used as a tracer for the actual estimation of radioactive materials, especially in archeological, biological, biomedical, and environmental samples. Achieving data sets that can be generated from modeling the C-14 tracer and fraction in a biomaterial would actively enhance the quantification of radiation energy that can be emitted with time against the identified parameters. Precise assessment of the radiation exposure from ingested 14C is an essential component of the computed and theoretical modeling designs. Consequently, this paper illuminates the computational and theoretically validated models of C-14 biomaterial from the initial activity of 100% to the final range of activities, which also relates to the surface area of 5 to 95% of the biomaterial, estimating the decay time as theoretically supported by the Stefan-Boltzmann law under standard conditions of half-life, decay constant, atmospheric emissivity, and atmospheric and radiative temperature. The generated outcomes with the respective potential radiation energies were modeled against time (yl = 31.207e-1E-04 xl), and the final expected activities (yl = 0.3121x) and with decay time and final expected activities (y = 32173e-0.038x). Hence, the models predicts that as the carbon-14 isotope undergoes radioactive decay, it creates radiation (energy) and turns into some other element.
