On-demand production of protactinium-233 for nuclear dating applications
Abstract
As one of the world's largest producers and processors of uranium, Canada is interested in developing analytical tools to characterize uranium samples found outside of regulatory control. The 235U/231Pa isotope pair can be used as a nuclear chronometer in forensics investigations, but usually requires access to the shorter-lived protactinium tracer 233Pa (t= = 27 d), which is not currently available in Canada. The purpose of this work was to …
