A Correction Method and Its Time Correction for Enrichment Measurement of Non-Equilibrium Low-Enriched Uranium by Keyu ZHANG, Lei BAI, Haocheng ZHAO, Yifan LIU, Hao LÜ

“…However，in the production of enriched uranium，the equilibrium between the daughter and the parent body is broken after separation by gas diffusion method or centrifugation method，and the continuous generation and decay of the daughter in the newly separated samples make the measured content inaccurate，and the direct use of the 234mPa content in the daughter of 238U leads to an error in the results obtained，which is not in line with the actual enrichment degree. …”
