Proliferation protection of uranium due to the presence of U-232 decay products as intense sources of hard gamma radiation
The objectives of the article are (1) to show the nuclear and physical causes of hard γ-quanta in the U-232 decay chain, (2) to propose tactics for handling uranium containing U-232, and (3) to assess the efficiency of its protective γ-barrier against uncontrolled proliferation. The authors s...
