heal.abstractGamma-ray spectrometry was used to determine uranium activity and investigate the presence of depleted uranium in soil samples collected from camping sites of the Greek expeditionary force in Kosovo. Assessment of U-238 concentrations was based on measurements of the 63.3 keV and 92.38 keV emissions of its first daughter nuclide, Th-234. To determine the isotopic ratio of U-238/U-235, secular equilibrium along the two radioactive series was first ensured and thereby the contribution of U-235 under the 186 keV peak was deduced. The uranium activity in the samples varied from 48 to 112 Bq kg(-1), whereas the activity ratio of U-238/U-235 averaged 23.1+/-4.3. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.en
