Description

Excellent analytical procedures are available for measuring plutonium in all kinds of environmental samples. Conditions are discusssed under which complete sample decomposition and exchange with isotopic tracers are obtained, thus ensuring accuracy in the measurements. The major problems arise in obtaining sufficient samples to be statistically representative of the populations involved and in obtaining homogeneous samples for analysis. (author)
