Determination of U and Th in urine by neutron activation

Description

Urinalysis for natural U and Th was done by neutron activation. Percent recovery (±1σ) was 80 ± 20 for U and 80 ± 10 for Th. The method is sufficiently sensitive to detect, in a 100-ml sample, less than 1 and 6 μg/l of 232Th and 238U, respectively. (author)
