    Physics Professor Dr. Smith Dear Dr. Smith, I am writing to propose a project for my independent study in physics this semester. I am very interested in nuclear physics and would like to do an experiment involving radioactive decay. Specifically, I propose to study the decay of the radioactive isotope berkelium-247. Berkelium-247 has a half-life of only 1380 years, making it relatively short-lived for an actinide. It decays by alpha emission to curium-243. I have done some preliminary research and believe that with the equipment available in our physics lab, I could safely handle small quantities of berkelium and measure its rate of decay. My proposed experiment would involve preparing small ber
