The isotope 254 Cf decays almost exclusively by spontaneous fission. with a half-life of 60.5 days. The energy released is about 225 MeV per fission. (a) Calculate the total fission power produced by 1.0 μg of 254 Cf. (b) Assuming Cf to behave like an ordinary metal, what would be the rise in temperature of the Cf sample per minute from the fission heating? 308
