Identifying reprocessed uranium by gamma spectrometry

Description
It is shown that low background gamma spectrometry can be successfully used to identify uranium samples made from reprocessed uranium, by measuring the activity of 232U. It is demonstrated that 232U is always present in enriched or depleted uranium samples, but in reprocessed uranium the activity of 232U is at least 100 times higher than in other uranium samples of the same 235U enrichment.
