233U/236U signature allows to distinguish environmental emissions of civil nuclear industry from weapons fallout

The dominant emission sources of anthropogenic radionuclides come from either atmospheric nuclear weapons tests or the nuclear industry (i.e., reprocessing plants or reactor accidents). Here, the authors identify a new environmental isotope tracer ($$^{233}$$ 233 U/$$^{236}$$ 236 U) which can help d...
