I'll try this again.
Thorium nitrate and uranol sic - i.e. uranyl+ compounds generally contain
natural uranium and thorium. For thorium, this is 100% thorium-232. For
uranium, you are dealing with 99+% U-238, and approximately 0.72% U-235,
0.0055% U-234. The specific activity of the Th-232 and U components are
readily available. I use 4.05e-9 Tbq/g of thorium and 2.56e-8 TBq/g of
uranium.
(I'd be in Boston, but I took this left turn in Albuquerque...)
This is unreviewed, and represents my views, not the views of my employer.
