THE SPECIFIC ALPHA ACTIVITY AND HALF-LIFE OF $sup 233$U

Journal Article · · J. Nuclear Energy, Pts. A & B. Reactor Sci. and Technol.
The specific alpha activity and the half life of U23 are measured. Thin films of U/sub 2/O8/sup /e alpha counted, with sample weights>s accurate to 0.01 mg and U/sup 233/ percentage activities known to 0.01%. The half life is found as (11.615 plus or minus 0.009) . 10/sup 5/ years, and the specific activity is (2.109 plus or minus 0.012) - 20/sup 7/ dpm/mg. (T.F.H.)
