INVESTIGATION OF THE FORMS OF PHOSPHORUS IN NEUTRON-BOMBARDED PHOSPHATES: NATURE OF THE PHOSPHORUS-32

Abstract
Evidence concerning the forms of phosphorus-32 occurring in neutron-bombarded calcium phosphates has been obtained using carrier ions for the different forms, and estimations of the proportional amounts present in these forms have been made. Ortho-, hypo-, pyro-, and metaphosphate forms of phosphorus-32 have been found as activity in the precipitation of the respective carriers; hypophosphate appeared to be an invariable and major component.
