Description

Radioisotopes of uranium, thorium and plutonium in water, soil and fertilizer samples, have been chemically separated and determined by alpha-spectrometry method. Radiochemical procedure involving ion-exchange, enabled to determine these isotopes in very low concentrations (under 50 μBq/g). 232U, 229Th and 238Pu were used as a tracers for radiochemical yield recoveries (up to 90%). Thin layer sources have been obtained by electrodeposition. (author). 8 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab
