A SOURCE OF ERROR IN THE DETERMINATION OF URANIUM-235 BY GAMMA-SPECTROMETRY
Journal Article

· J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.
The background radiation at 184 kev, where U/sup 235/ is usually measured, was found to be chiefly due to bremsstrahlung from Pa/sup 234/ and to depend on the U/sup 238/ concentration and the size, nature, and chemical history of the sample. The extent of this background is shown graphically for a uranium rod, uranyl nitrate crystals and solutions, various thicknesses of uranium metal samples, and a sample of U/sub 3/O/sub 8/. (D.L.C.)
