Commentary of dr. Len Dietz on the isotopic analysis of Depleted Uranium
More accurate is the Thermal
Ionization Mass Spectrometer of
Atlantic Universitiy of Newfoundland
in Canada. (contact Pat
Horan)
This means: not finding DU in soil samples
with a concentration
of Uranium < 1 ppm is not very scientific
because low DU-
concentrations also are dangerous
In the following report only one out of 22
samples gives a
clear indication of DU in the sample: ENV
0040 (because
this sample contains 33,0 ppm (or microgram
per gram) uranium
The others are below the measuring range of
the ICP-MS
(Iductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer)
