Abstract: | Radiochemical separation of Pu, Am and U was tested from synthetic solutions and evaporator concentrate samples from nuclear
power plants for isolation of each of them for alpha-spectrometry analysis. The separation was performed by anion-exchange
chromatography, extraction chromatography, using TRU resin, and precipitation techniques. The aim of the study was to develop
a sensitive analytical procedure for the sequential determination of 242Pu, 238Pu, 239+240Pu, 241Am and 235, 238U in radioactive wastes. 238Pu, 242Pu, 243Am and 232U were used as tracers. The measurements of α emitting radionuclides were performed by semiconductor detector that is used
especially when spectrometric information is needed. For synthetic solutions the chemical recovery was based on associated
iron concentration and was about 93%. |
