Abstract

The intensity of the 1001 keV γ-ray occurring in the decay of234mPa in equilibrium with natural uranium sources is found to be (0.818±0.030)%. This value is in agreement with a recent measurement employing depleted uranium sources, but does not agree with earlier reports employing radiochemically pure sources.
