Abstract
High-resolution alpha-particle spectrometry was performed on three uranium materials enriched in 235U. Besides the 235U peaks, separate peaks belonging to impurity traces of 234U could be quantified. Relying on the isotopic composition of the uranium, as determined by mass spectrometry, the ratio of the half-lives of 238U and 235U was determined via the activity ratio of 234U and 235U in the materials. As an intermediate link, the 234U/238U half-life ratio was taken from published mass spectrometric analyses of ‘secular equilibrium’ uranium material. The resulting half-life ratio T1/2(238U)/T1/2(235U) = 6.351±0.031 is in agreement with the commonly adopted half-life values determined by Jaffey et al.
