A radioactive mineral consisting of thorium silicate. 2, record 6, English, - thorite
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The radioactivity of thorite often brings it to a state of metamiction, in which its crystal structure becomes unstable thereby causing the crystal edges to become smooth and rounded. When this happens, the thorite may gain hydroxyl (OH) molecules in place of the silica (SiO4) molecules and transform into a different mineral, thorogummite. 3, record 6, English, - thorite
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Thorite is currently an important ore of uranium. A variety of thorite often called "uranothorite" is particularly rich in uranium ... Other varieties of thorite include "orangite," an orange variety; "calciothorite" an impure variety with trace amounts of calcium and "freyalite" actually a discredited variety containing cerium ([which] turned out to be an altered form of the mineral melanocerite). 4, record 6, English, - thorite

Ce radioélément naturel accompagne toujours les terres rares dont il est très difficile à séparer en raison de l'analogie des propriétés chimiques. [...] Elle découvre [...] une faible anomalie dans l'évolution de l'activité P de l'actinium fraîchement purifié de ses descendants. Le rayonnement P de l'actinium 227 a une énergie si faible qu'il n’ avait jamais été observé et le descendant immédiat, le thorium 237, ne devait se former qu'avec une période d’une vingtaine de jours. 5, record 21, French, - actinium%20227

Il semble que le terme «activité spécifique» ait fait l’objet de critiques de la part de certains auteurs et que les organismes de normalisation comme l’ISO et la CEI (Commission électrotechnique internationale) aient tenté d’imposer l’emploi de «activité massique». Toutefois, le terme «activité spécifique» paraît vouloir s’ancrer malgré tout dans l’usage. On le retrouve dans le Règlement sur l’emballage et le transport des substances nucléaires (révisé janvier 2000).
