CONTENTS. After a radioactive nucleus undergoes an isobaric transition (beta emission, positron emission, or electron capture), it usually contains too much energy to be in its final stable or daughter state. Nuclei in these intermediate and final states are isomers, since they have the same atomic and mass numbers.
In the fall, it was widely reported that people from four U.S. states may need a passport to fly domestically this year. Now, the Department of Homeland Security has increased the list of U.S. locations not offering state driverâs licenses that comply with new federal regulations known as the Real ID Act.
But Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Washington state and American Samoa have not moved to make their driverâs licenses compliant with the new federal standard, meaning airline passengers from those states will have to present other forms of identification at TSA checkpoints.
