Alpha emitters in the beach sands of the Mexican Pacific littoral

Alpha emitters in Mexican Pacific beach sands were studied to calculate the 234 U/ 238 U activity ratio (AR) and the 239+240 Pu content. AR was related with the weathering conditions of the sands; AR = 1 means reduced weathering conditions, like those found in the end of the California peninsula, an...
