Fractionation of 226Ra and Ba in the Upper North Pacific Ocean

Fractionation of 226Ra and Ba in the Upper North Pacific Ocean

Investigations conducted during the GEOSECS program concluded that radium-226 (T1/2 = 1602 y) and barium are tightly correlated in waters above 2500 m in the Atlantic, Pacific and Antarctic Oceans, with a fairly uniform 226Ra/Ba ratio of 2.3 ± 0.2 dpm µmol-1 (4.6 nmol 226Ra/mol Ba). Here, we report...
