Abstract:Many factors complicate the estimation of radiogenic heat production (RHP) which may lead to radionuclide concentrations which does not characterize the RHP being produced by rocks. One of this is the Uranium disequilibrium effect. We modified an existing model to minimize this effect.
A revised data from gamma-ray spectrometry was used to compute the Beta and Alpha energies (Eβmax) of decay schemes, mass defect (EΔm)of radioelements, total absorbed energy (Eabs) per atom, numerical constants (Ai) and converte… Show more
