Nucleosynthesis and isotopes

Yttrium in the Solar System was created through arch nucleosynthesis, mostly by the s-process (≈72%), but aswell by the r-process (≈28%).

The r-process consists of accelerated neutron abduction of lighter elements during supernova explosions. The s-process is a apathetic neutron abduction of lighter elements central pulsating red behemothic stars.

Yttrium isotopes are a part of the a lot of accepted articles of the nuclear fission of uranium occurring in nuclear explosions and nuclear reactors. In agreement of nuclear decay management, the a lot of important isotopes of yttrium are 91Y and 90Y, with half-lives of 58.51 canicule and 64 hours, respectively.
