Abstract: | Concentrations of239+249Pu in environmental samples were detemined by ICP-MS and spectrometry, showing consistent results, which suggests an applicability of ICP-MS to239Pu and240Pu measurement. The activity ratios of238Pu/239+240Pu and240Pu/239Pu were significantly different in samples from the general environment and near Sellafield reprocessing plants, indicating the usefulness of these ratios for identification of the Pu contamination source. |
