Radiations of Uranium Y
Abstract
The radioactivity of UY (Th231) has been re-investigated. Samples were prepared by growth from U235 largely freed of U238, and absorption, decay, and coincidence experiments were run. The presence of the 210-kev beta-ray was re-confirmed, and a 35-kev gamma-ray 82 percent converted in the L shell was discovered. The half-life of UY was determined as 25.5 hours.
