Interpretation of chemical and isotopic analysis of ruthenium carried out on Oklo ore samples and various geological samples

Description

Isotopic compositions of ruthenium from various terrestrial sources were compared between them and with ruthenium from a sample of the meteorite of Canyon Diablo. It was not possible to detect any isotopic anomalies, beyond precision of measurement, this result shows that less than 0.5% of the earth crust uranium participated in Oklo type nuclear reactions, in the hypothesis of a complete rehomogeneization of ruthenium in the earth crust. Chemical and isotopic analysis of fission ruthenium along the SC 36 boring of zone II show a noticeable differenciation between ruthenium and technetium at the time of nuclear reaction and a ruthenium distribution slightly narrower in comparison with that of fission neodymium

Abstract (French)

Les compositions isotopiques de ruthenium d'origines terrestres diverses ont ete comparees entre elles et a celle du ruthenium extrait d'un echantillon de la meteorite de Canon-Diablo. Il n'a pas ete possible de detecter d'anomalies isotopiques, a la precision des mesures pres; ce resultat indique, dans l'hypothese faite d'une rehomogeneisation complete du ruthenium dans la croute terrestre, que moins de 0,05% de l'uranium de cette derniere a participe a des reactions nucleaires du type de celle d'Oklo. L'analyse chimique et isotopique du ruthenium de fission le long du sondage SC36 de la zone II indique une differenciation notable entre le ruthenium et le technetium a l'epoque de la reaction nucleaire, et une distribution du ruthenium legerement plus etroite par comparaison avec celle du neodyme de fission
