Abstract: | A post-irradiation procedure for the determination of picogram amounts of 99Tc in triply distilled water is described. The 99Tc is irradiated in a thermal neutron flux of about 5.1013 n cm-2 sec-l to produce 16-sec 100Tc. The chemical purification of the 100Tc from other radionuclides requires 40–45 sec and the technetium yield is about 53%. The purified 100Tc is counted in a low-background β-counter. |
