R-value is obtained by dividing the observed counting rate ratio of two
nuclides at zero time by the corresponding ratio for a standard fission
sample counted under the same conditions. Table 4.4 lists the weight,
total activity, and gross decay exponents of one size fraction.

The ssmples contained less than 1 per cent Cl~.

It was realized

late in the operation that chloride was lost from the samples by heating
with nitric acid. However the same result was obtained when the analysis
was run on a portion of 1 siza fraction dissolved at room temperature

unier non-oxidizing conditions,
0.975 per cent.

Analyses for Fet indteated less than

Cuantitative analyses for Cat+ were used in conjunce

tion with the total samole weights to calculate the Ca(OH)2 cont=nt

of the size-graded samples. The results ars given in Table 4.5. The
two particle sizes having the highest Ca(OH)2 content are the same
sizes “hich cannot be obtained in significant quantity by grinding

coral in a mortar,
