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
