Determination of the uranium content of environmental samples by gamma spectroscopy of the 1.0015 MeV radiation in 234U.
A method of determining the uranium content of environmental samples by gamma spectroscopy of the 1.0015 MeV gamma radiation of the 234Pam (beta-) 234U leads to 234U daughter decay is described. The detection limit is 1 nCi/kg sample. The transition probability has been determined to be 0.87 +/- 0.03%.
