Abstract

U and Th ores have been found to contain significant levels of ¹⁴C. The levels of this isotope can be as high as ¹⁴C α=1.7 · 10^-9, and can be explained in terms of nuclear reactions and some contribution from heavy-ion emission or asymmetric fission. The levels of ¹⁴C are compared to other nucleogenic isotopes that have been found in these ores, such as ¹⁰Be, ²⁶Al and excesses of rare-gas isotopes.
