85Kr is an inert radioactive noble gas with a half-llife of 10.76 years. It is produced by the fission of uranium and plutonium, such as in nuclear bomb testing and nuclear reactors. 85Kr is released during the reprocessing of fuel rods from nuclear reactors. Concentrations at the North Pole are 30% higher than at the South Pole as most nuclear reactors are in the northern hemisphere.
86Kr [50 neutrons]
Abundance: 17.3%
Stable with 50 neutrons
