Hi Helmut, U238 (over 99 percent of DU is U238) emits a 4.18 MeV alpha when it decays. The resulting U234 emits a 180keV beta particle. U234 has a 24 day...
Yes. Most of these pocket ion chamber, pen type dosimeters are chargeable on the CDV, commercial, or military chargers, either the battery kind or the wind up...
