Only 20% of the fission products of mass 85 become 85 Kr itself; the rest passes through a short-lived nuclear isomer and then to stable 85 Rb. If irradiated reactor fuel is reprocessed, this radioactive krypton may be released into the air. This krypton release can be detected and used as a means of detecting clandestine nuclear reprocessing.
