Select the ore grade by changing either the % U3O8 or % U values below. Source Parameters
Enter the grade of the ore in % U3O8:
or enter the grade of the ore in % U: rhoso - Source density [g/cm3]
Enter the % solids of the slurry (Enter 100 for dry ore): Element/Nuclide wt_% *Bq/g Element/Nuclide wt_% *Bq/g Element/Nuclide wt_% *Bq/g
