Stanovení stáří sekundárních minerálů uranu metodou 230Th/234U na vybraných lokalitách Českého masívu / Determination of the age of secondary uranium minerals using 230Th/234U in selected localities of the Bohemian massif

This thesis is focused on prominent uranium deposits in Czech Republic and their secondary uranium mineralization. Main goal of this thesis is to analyze collected minerals and to determine their ages. Next step is to prove or disprove hypothesis that this secondary uranium minerals are products of Quaternary glacier weathering. As a suitable analytical method, an alpha spectrometry was used and the age was calculated by 230 Th/234 U ratio. Firstly, chosen methodology was verified with admixture of reference material PU1 (Přibram uraninite) in secular equilibrium and internal standard, both with known activity. Analyzed spectra confirmed that some of the samples lay on the very edge of datability, especially in case of PL1 and GF1, both samples are very young, so they easily could be products of anthropogenic activity (changed environment due to mining works). On the other hand, in case of sample GF3, the age was successfully determined, although it is also quite young phase. In case of samples ME3, ME4 and ME6 was used threshold dating method, because they were considered to be too old for age calculation. The rest of the samples chosen for age determination was analyzed without further complications. Based on the age and geological setting, samples GF3 (3 725 ± 845 years), JE1 (10 655 ± 1 795...
