· J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem'
Chlorine was isolated from kilogram quantities of both Canadian and African pitchblende, exhaustively purified, and counted. The specific activity of chlorine obtained from african pitchblende was found to be 7 plus or minus 1 dis/min per gram of chlorine, whereas that from Canadian pitchblende was 4 plus or minus 1 dis/min per gram of chlorine. The ratio of induced fission of U/sup 235/ vs. spontaneeus fission of U/sup 238/ in these minerals wae calculated from the radiochlorine data. A value of 0.33 was obtained for the african pitchblende, and a value of 0.19, for the Canadian pitchblende. (auth)
