Title: STUDY OF THE U/Th RATIO IN A THORITE FROM KIVU (BELGIAN CONGO) WITH REGARD TO ITS UTILIZATION IN THE PREPARATION OF THORIUM STANDARDS FOR GAMMA SPECTROMETRY (in French)

Journal Article · · Chimia Switz.
OSTI ID:4284221

The uranium and thorium contents of a thorite from Kivu were determined. The very low U/Th ratio found makes this mineral a good standard for gamma spectrometry and fer all other direct radiometric measurements of thorium. The mineral was used in the preparation of ThB standards for the determination of the absolute age of rocks and minerals. (tr-auth)
