What Does AC Stand For?
AC stands for Actinium
AC refers to Actinium, a silvery-white, radioactive metal with the atomic number 89. It is part of the actinide series on the periodic table and is primarily used in radiotherapy for cancer treatment, as well as in neutron sources for research applications. Actinium is relatively rare in nature and is primarily obtained from uranium and thorium ores. Due to its radioactivity, handling requires special precautions to ensure safety.
