Popis: | Fission track annealing experiments for vermiculite mineral have been performed under optimised etching conditions and a correction curve translating track length reduction to track density reduction has been constructed. The blocking/closing temperature of the fission track system in the mineral has been calculated to be 125°±30° C. The corrected fission track age of vermiculite from Kasipatnam (Visakhapatnam), South India, has been calculated as 544±14 Ma. The activation energy and average uranium concentration of the mineral are 1.7 eV and 9.9×10−8 gg−1 respectively. |
