According to the study's lead scientists, the new technique relies on measuring extremely small amounts
of the nuclide that accumulates as cosmic rays strike exposed rock surfaces over long periods of time.

«The advantage
of isochron dating as compared to simple radiometric dating techniques is that no assumptions are needed about the initial amount
of the daughter
nuclide in the radioactive decay sequence.»
The 3000 or so known unstable
nuclides have half - lives from fractions
of a second to more than the age
of the universe — and theory predicts thousands more
To ascertain the age
of the boulders strewn by the glaciers and thus come up with a date when glaciers were at their greatest extent, Willenbring and colleagues used a technique known as cosmogenic
nuclide exposure dating, which measures the chemical residue
of supernova explosions.
As an added bonus, many
of the very long - lived
nuclides larger than Uranium (Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, etc.) have the same trend, and fast reactors can split and destroy these actinides as fuel rather than let them accumulate as in thermal reactors.

It took about a minute using Google for me to find a paper published in Science four years before the Chernobyl meltdown describing precisely the same level
of «the naturally occurring radioactive
nuclide polonium - 210» in the same species

Its full narrative includes: the coupling multi-century climate — cosmogenic
nuclides increasingly detected, the way this coupling is not just a matter
of climate - dependent
nuclides transport and deposition, the way ocean lag disqualifies flagship narratives about recent shorter - term modelling purportedly ruling this out, and, the way a 20th century grand maximum would call for a mechanistic incorporation
of all this in 20th century understanding / modelling — only, the mechanism (UV or GCR - clouds, probably the former) has not been well enough understood yet.
And when it did, cosmic rays came screaming into the Earth system and you see, in basically all sedimentary records, this peak
of cosmic ray produced
nuclides».
... The evidence comes from a close correlation between inferred changes in production rates
of the cosmogenic
nuclides carbon - 14 and beryllium - 10 and centennial to millennial time scale changes in proxies
of drift ice measured in deep - sea sediment cores.
The record

In a paper on the Energy & Environmental Science web site (17/7/12), meteorologist John Ten Hoeve and environmental engineer Mark Jacobson, both at Stanford University in California have calculated that, based on estimates
of the radioactive
nuclides released at Fukuhima, a three - dimensional global atmospheric model for radioactive fallout patterns and the linear no - threshold (LNT) model for resultant cancers, there would be between 15 and 1100 linked cancer deaths, with their best estimate being 130 deaths.
I do not categorically reject utilization
of nuclear power, but I doubt that such plant that circulate both liquid sodium and water near presence
of various radioactive
nuclides including plutonium can be safely operated in industrial (rather than laboratory) scale.
His message sounds authoritative since he is an expert
of climate change, but he is neither an expert

Other applications
of past geomagnetic field reconstructions include investigations
of atmospheric ionisation by galactic cosmic rays (e.g., Usoskin et al. 2008, 2010) or in - situ cosmogenic
nuclide production rates to study Earth surface processes (e.g., Pigati & Lifton 2004; Lifton et al. 2008).
We also analyse other available proxies
