Description

Uranium-234 is a naturally occurring isotope of uranium, identified by CAS NO 13966-29-5. This specific nuclide is of significant importance in nuclear science and technology due to its role in the uranium decay chain and its utility as a tracer. It is primarily required by specialized sectors involved in nuclear fuel cycle research, environmental monitoring, and the calibration of radiation detection equipment.

Application

• Nuclear Fuel Cycle Research: Used as a tracer and reference material in studies of uranium enrichment processes and spent fuel analysis.
• Environmental Monitoring: Employed in the detection and quantification of uranium isotopes for environmental radioactivity assessment and geochemical dating.
• Radiation Detector Calibration: Serves as a precise calibration standard for α-particle spectrometers and other radiation measurement devices.
• Scientific Reference Standards: Provides a certified reference material for analytical laboratories conducting isotopic analysis.
• Nuclear Safeguards and Forensics: Applied in the analysis of nuclear materials for non-proliferation and security applications.

Quality Control

Our Uranium-234 materials are produced and handled under strict quality assurance protocols to ensure isotopic purity and chemical consistency. Each batch is characterized for isotopic abundance via high-precision mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic composition, radionuclidic purity, and trace element analysis is provided to meet the stringent requirements of research and calibration applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being light-sensitive and easily oxidized, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area dedicated for radioactive materials. Adhere to all local, national, and international regulations for the safe storage of radioactive isotopes.
