摘要

A theoretical study has been conducted to evaluate the amount of timely existing astatine on Earth. Natural uranium series (238U) and actinide series (235U), as well as artificial neptunium series (237Np) were selected as astatine sources, contributing 215At, 217At, 218At and 219At. The results mass of current naturally-existing astatine is estimated to be 101.27–130.20 mg, with the abundances of 215At, 217At, 218At, and 219At being 4.14 × 10–8, 3.89 × 10–10, 9.91 × 10–1, and 8.36 × 10–3, respectively.
