Abstract:
The paper presents the results of a uranium isotopic analysis by alpha spectrometric method in various natural waters of uranium-bearing regions of Uzbekistan. To perform isotopic analysis of uranium in various natural waters, preliminary radiochemical preparation of water samples is carried out, which includes concentrating of uranium isotopes from water samples, removing of the interfering radionuclides and iron, preparation of a counting sample by electrical method, electrolytic deposition of uranium, etc. Based on the obtained data on the isotopic composition of uranium in the studied water samples, disruption in the radioactive equilibrium between uranium isotopes and a directly proportional relationship between concentration of the 234U isotope and the total volume alpha activity of the water was established.
