Re: Normal Uranium or Natural Uranium?

["John Johnson" <idias@interchange.ubc.ca>]

I agree with Ruth, except that I don't think there is an exact fraction for U-234. It can vary in ground water because it can become more "available" because of the decay of U-238.

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.
