How much U-232 would be present in Depleted
Uranium?
My understanding is that U-232,a daughter product
of neutron activation of Pa-231, would have been present when recycle uranium
was introduced into the uranium
stockpile. However, if I understand this correctly, during gaseous
diffusion the U-232 would have went the same direction as U-235, not the
direction of U-238.
Previous characterization gave me ratios for Tc-99
and Am-241, would there be a correlation between these and U-232?
Is it possible to run a gamma spec and establish a
ratio to one of the known constituents?
