Abstract

The authors propose a method to determine 226Ra by using a solution of232U and its daughters in equilibrium as a tracer.224Ra of the232U solution can be used as yield determinant for226Ra. The growth of214Po from226Ra and of212Po from224Ra is measured at different times after the isolation of the radium fraction.
