Kegunaan isotop torium
- The decay of 232Th (with a half-life of 1.40×1010 years) to 208Pb is used to date rocks based on the accumulation of the stable daughter product 208Pb. The half-lives of the isotopes between the parent radionuclide 232Th and stable endpoint 208Pb all have much shorter half-lives than thorium. Therefore, the amount of 208Pb that accumulates in a sample is determined primarily by the amount of 232Th parent radionuclide present when the mineral was formed and the time that has elapsed since the mineral solidified. Another dating method, the 230Th/ 234U method, is based on the hypothesis that the sample contains uranium, but no 230Th at the time of its formation. Then, the age of the specimen is determined mainly by the amount of 230Th in the specimen. Reliable ages with this method range from several thousand to approximately 350 thousand years.
