AG-ARFA-R Rapid Analysis of Gross Alpha Radioactivity in Environmental Samples (No.31)
If an accident occurs at a reprocessing plant, the types of radionuclides released to the environment may be different from those in the reactor facility. For that reason, a method to rapidly quantify alpha-emitting nuclides of transuranium elements such as plutonium, americium, and curium in particular will be required. This manual stipulates a rapid analysis method in which plutonium and transuranium elements in environmental samples are separated and refined by extraction chromatography and the gross alpha radioactivity is measured distinguishing from natural alpha-emitting nuclides such as uranium and thorium.
