Because of its abundance, sodium-23 is used in <a href="/facts/Nuclear_magnetic_resonance/pGYAn9Bz">nuclear magnetic resonance</a> in various research fields, including materials science and battery research.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31"><sup>31</sup></a> Sodium-23 relaxation has applications in studying cation-biomolecule interactions, intracellular and extracellular sodium, ion transport in batteries, and quantum information processing.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32"><sup>32</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="sodium-24">Sodium-24</h2> <p>Sodium-24 is radioactive and can be created from common sodium-23 by <a href="/facts/Neutron_activation/FXwq3HUs">neutron activation</a>. With a half-life of 14.9560(15) h, 24Na decays to <a href="/facts/Isotopes_of_magnesium/pv5hSrhW">24Mg</a> by emission of an <a href="/facts/Electron/L0KBo5cW">electron</a> and two <a href="/facts/Gamma_ray/5Drf913J">gamma rays</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33"><sup>33</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34"><sup>34</sup></a> </p><p>Exposure of the human body to intense <a href="/facts/Neutron_radiation/LVJhCcwL">neutron radiation</a> creates 24Na in the <a href="/facts/Blood_plasma/oHuwwugG">blood plasma</a>.

When the 24Na decays, it causes a buildup of magnesium in the coolant. Since the half-life is short, the 24Na portion of the coolant ceases to be radioactive within a few days after removal from the reactor. Leakage of the hot sodium from the primary loop may cause radioactive fires,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36"><sup>36</sup></a> as it can ignite in contact with air (and explodes in contact with water).
