摘要
The possibility of using conventional analysis, such as gamma spectrometry and a spectrometry, for the detection of traces of depleted uranium (DU) in environmental samples has been investigated. The expected values have been compared with the experimental results obtained by using mollusc samples gathered in the Adriatic Sea. The analysis has shown that it is possible to detect DU, if the percentage composition is about 20% depleted uranium and 80% natural uranium, for a sample containing 10 Bq.kg(-1) of U-238. The possibility of extending this approach to samples with any given uranium concentration is investigated.
