The Information the Tracer Atom Sends out
As tracer atoms are capable of taking part in almost all
the physicist, chemical and biological processes, man is thus
to
able find out the secrets of the nature based on the
information sent out by tracer atoms. That is why the tracer
atoms are often praised as the "atomic scouts".
Tracer atoms are capable of helping answer the following
questions:
Where? When? How many (much)?
These kinds of information are of paramount importance to
national economic construction, scientific research, and
to the daily life of the people, so
so tracer atoms are
worthy of the title of man's indispensable helper.
Tracer Atom in Industrial Production
The application of the isotopic tracing technology in
îndustry is called the "engineering analytic technology".
This is because the tracer atom takes part in the movement of
the material, which enables the engineers and technicians to
swiftly and accurately judge, in the technical process, the
time, space and quantitative distribution, as well as the
material's hydraulic dynamic action, including the material's
flow direction and standing time, their mixture, balance and
convertion. A thorough understanding of these rules will
provide a scientific basis for the determining of the pro-
ductive technical parameters, for understanding the on-stream
operation and for the realization of the optimum technological
