    Notable isotopes

    Krypton-81

    Radioactive krypton-81 is the product of

    spallation reactions with cosmic rays striking gases present in the Earth atmosphere, along with the six stable or nearly stable krypton isotopes.[9] Krypton-81 has a half-life
    of about 229,000 years.

    Krypton-81 is used for dating ancient (50,000- to 800,000-year-old)

    Krypton-85

    Krypton-85 has a half-life of about 10.75 years. This isotope is produced by the

    fuel rods from nuclear reactors.[citation needed
    ]

    Atmospheric concentration

    The atmospheric concentration of krypton-85 around the

    northern hemisphere, and also well-north of the equator.[11]
    To be more specific, those .

    Krypton-86

    Krypton-86 was formerly used to define the meter from 1960 until 1983, when the definition of the meter was based on the wavelength of the 606 nm (orange) spectral line of a krypton-86 atom.[12]

    Others

    All other

    radioisotopes of krypton have half-lives of less than one day, except for krypton-79, a positron emitter
    with a half-life of about 35.0 hours.
