Identification of Radioactivity in Ambon Banana (Musa Paradisiaca) and Kepok Banana Peel (Musa Acuminata Balbisiana) for Nuclear Battery Applications

Banana peel has a high potassium content, including the presence of the radioactive element K-40. As one of the beta emitters, K-40 has the potential to be a natural radioactive material for use as a betavoltaic nuclear battery source. In this study, the levels of K-40 content and radioactivity of...
