Fig.2-19  Relationship between the number of years since the purification period and the 230Th/234U atomic number ratio

Immediately after uranium is purified, 230Th begins accu-mulating due to radioactive decay of 234U. Therefore, the number of years elapsed from the date of purification can be clarified by analyzing the atomic number ratios of both nuclides.
