Source lists

|---|---|---|---|---|
| agribalyse | 3.2 | 606db44d-eb69-51b0-af44-0bdcf4720334 | Uranium-238 | The CAS numbers are the same (24678-82-8); both name the same compartment. |
| bafu | 2026-v1 | 1b5acbc4-9c26-5f17-a68a-2ec9b0b96e10 | Uranium-238 | The CAS numbers are the same (24678-82-8); both name the same compartment. |
| bafu | 2026-v1 | e9d389c5-07d4-5fda-a61c-750d77dd188f | Uranium-238 | The CAS numbers are the same (24678-82-8); both name the same compartment. |
| ecoinvent | 3.12 | 16cd83f0-c5c0-4b6f-8dd0-26d4e3b9a017 | Uranium-238 | The CAS numbers are the same (24678-82-8); no flow of this substance sat in that compartment, so this one was created for the row. |
| ecoinvent | 3.8 | 16cd83f0-c5c0-4b6f-8dd0-26d4e3b9a017 | Uranium-238 | The CAS numbers are the same (24678-82-8); both name the same compartment. |

Characterisation factors
3- consensus-flow-list 1
- GreenDelta 1
- ecoinvent Centre 1
Every implementation that says anything about this flow. Published as is what this list did with the row: where more than one implementation states a number and they agree it publishes it as agreed; where only one speaks, as sole; where they disagree it publishes nothing and asks.

}Something wrong here?
A flow can be wrong in three ways, and they are decided differently. Pick the one that matches what you are looking at.
- A row from my list should not reach this flow
- This flow is not that chemical
- The compartment or the unit is wrong
- One of these characterisation factors cannot be this substance's
You do not need to run a build or clone anything. Name the row and say what your evidence is; the measurement is done for you. How contributing works
