Radioactive disequilibrium in uranium series of core samples from Rasimalai and Pakkanadu areas of Tamil Nadu, India

Uranium mineral in a geological environment may behave like an open system. Various factors such as mobility of radium, α-recoil of 234U causing migration of uranium radioisotopes, and radon emanation lead to disequilibrium in uranium decay series. A study has been carried out to find the disequilib...
