RE: Uranium Enrichment

Luke,

Take a look at the following DOE document, dated June 1988, "Health Physics Manual of Good Practices for Uranium Facilities."  The following identifiers are also associated with this document which may help you locate a copy; DE88-013620, EGG-2530, and UC-41.  The copy I have was reproduced by the National Technical Information Service.  It has some of the better explanations and relationships in regard to the various uranium isotopes dependent upon the enrichment process utilized.

Thanks,

Greg

I am trying to find a good text on Uranium enrichment. In particular, I am
interested in older gas diffusion systems and am most interested in the
contaminant carryover (U-234 activity per percent U-235 enrichment, how this
differed at various facilities/processes) What other contaminants could be
expected and what are their sources, expected concentrations, etc?  Is there
a production facility 'signature' that could be reliably seen in this? Any
advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
