RE: U-235 Weight Percent for Natural Uranium



Want to thank everyone for the responses.  Unfortunately, the only standard

(link below) has been revised to remove the footnote stating a range (0.61

to 0.81) for U-235 weight percent - the explanation is that a reference for

it could not be found.  As I get more information, I'll pass it on.
