ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF RADIUM IN PITCHBLENDE ORE AND BARIUM SULPHATE CONCENTRATES
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4197942
The gamma activity of the sample in equilibrium with radon and its daughter elements is compared, under fixed geometrical conditions, with that of a radium standard in similar equilibrium. Corrections are made for the absorption of gamma radiation within the sample and its container, for the geometrical factors arising from the size and shape of the sample cylinder, for the characteristics of the counting equipment and, in the case of pitchblende ore, for the decay products UX/sub 1/ and UX/sub 2/. The method is suitable for the determination of radium in solid pitchblende ore and barium sulfate concentrates where the radium content is relatively high. (auth)
