Anomalous U 234 U 238 in nature
Journal Article
·
· Journal of Geophysical Research
Recently, several workers, reported radioactive disequilibrium in nature between U234 and its parent U238. This anomaly may be used as a geochemical tool in the study of the behavior of U in rocks, soils, and natural waters. Samples of unraninite and Mississippian limestone in which U234 was expected to be in equilibrium with U238 were analyzed. Preliminary values for the oceans are given. Several samples from Eniwetok and Lake Bonneville were analyzed.
