Uranium vs Vanadium ( isotopes )

Uranium
U238 ( 99.3% majority ) ------> used to make plutonium decay ----> 4.468×10⁹ y
U234 ( 0.005% -small faction )
U235 extracts from U238 = 0.70% - 0.72% -----> fissile ( hot ) decay -----> 7.038×10⁸ y

Vanadium
Vanadium 51 - 99%
Vanadium 50 - 0.24% ------> radioactive decay -------> 2.71(13)×10¹⁷ y

Is Vanadium 50 extracted from Vanadium 51 ?
Is Vanadium 50 given the same creedence as U235 ?

Vanadium 50 has a decay power of,, 10¹⁷

Plain Vanadium is similar to ( nickel, chromium ) used in steel alloys.

Yes.... tis interesting to see Vanadium has a ---------> V50 with 0.24%

BSK is running a tad over 50% vanadium recovery.
One of those 50/50 extraction outcomes
If rocks and sands are merely washed
oxide and carb powders are captured
if treated with caustic soda and V recoveries are only a tad over 50%
where's the other 50% V
most likely still in solution or.... loose rocks.

Cheers.....
