Abstract
Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) and Synchrotron Radiation X-ray Fluorescent Analysis (SRXRFA) were used to measure the content of uranium and a few other trace elements in samples of bottom sediments of Lake Baikel separated into biogenic (diatom algae frustules) and clastic components by an aerodynamic method. Uranium is rejected, rather than accumulated by diatom algae frustules.
