Hello,
DOE-STD-1136-2004 (Guide of Good Practices for Occupational
Radiological Protection in Uranium Facilities) gives an equation for
the specific activity of uranium (Ci/g) as a function of U-235
percent enrichment. However, it does not provide a parameterization
of the isotopic abundances. A graph (Figure 2-2) does show the
percent of the total activity for individual isotopes but I am
interested in equations for the abundances, rather than having to
read values off the graph.
Does anyone has a cite for this information i.e. Bq/g or Ci/g for
each uranium isotope versus % U-235 mass enrichment (by the gaseous
diffusion method).
Feel free to respond directly to me.
Regards,
Leo M. Lowe, Ph.D., P.Phys.
