Re: Normal Uranium or Natural Uranium?

[roseb@GDLS.COM]

I did a web search for "normal uranium" as I too have never heard the term

prior to this thread.   In most of over 300 hits returned for "normal

uranium", the term is used most frequently to refer to "natural uranium".

None of the hits returned any chemisty references to indicate any

association with normality (equivalents/liter) or any other isotopic

composition that distinguishes "normal uranium" different from natural

uranium.

I never heard of "normal uranium,"  Any mixture of U-235, U-234, and U-238

that contains exactly the same fractions of these three isotopes as natural



uranium, and contains only these three, would be indistinguishable from

nartural uranium.
