Abstract
Uranium contents of phosphate ores and fertilizers collected from El-Sobaeya and El-Suez mines in Egypt were determined by measuring the radon emanated from these samples. In our method, neither direct contact of CR-39 track detectors to the samples nor thermal neutron activation process is required. The concentration of 222Rn in the emanation container (Genitron Instruments GmbH) is dependent on the uranium deposited in the phosphate sample. The CR-39 and a pulse ionization chamber, Alpha GUARD PQ-2000 ( ...
