- 2) I don't quite understand. Could you explain what a science element has to do with nuclear warfare?
- 1) We need an advantage in this war. I brought in scientist;Greg Randall to explain his idea.
- 3) I propose we find out how big Russia's nuclear arsenal is by using Krypton. We can subtract the amount that came from western reactors from the total in the air.
- 2) I see, well can you explain more about this element so I can understand exactly what were working with.
- 1) The Russians are using radioactive Krypton. Krypton is a noble gas product used in all nuclear reactors. I believe we can estimate Russia's nuclear power by applying our knowledge of chemistry.
- Can you inform us with a little more information?
- Scottish chemist William Ramsay, discovered Krypton in 1898 in London. Ramsay had previously discovered Helium and Argon and a number of other elements. Since it was discovered in 1898 most people believe it is still impossible to make compounds out of Krypton. Krypton is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It is also a non flammable and non toxic element.
- Krypton can be found in meteorites and minerals; however, it is most plentiful in the atmosphere. An essential use of Krypton is in high-powered, flashing airport runway lights. Furthermore, Krypton in the atmosphere can detect the existence of otherwise confidential nuclear weapons research and production facilities.
- Fascinating.
- Krypton looks white and is crystalline; it has a boiling point of -159.9 celsius and a density of 3.64 grams per liter. Krypton is around 2.8 times as dense as air. It is around 33$ per 100 grams to buy.
- Thank you everyone for meeting today. I am excited to announce project Krypton is authorized.
