Description
A method for express determination of 234-238U, 238-242Pu, 241-243Am and 242-244Cm content in fuel 'hot' particles and spent nuclear fuel is offered. The method is based on precision measurement of a sample α activity followed by estimate of relative contributions of individual nuclides, or groups of radionuclides, to total activity. Segregation in separate fractions of uranium, plutonium, americium and curium was made with the help of ion-exchange chromatography. Results are presented of 234U, 238U, 238Pu,239+240Pu, 241Pu, 242Pu, 241Am, 242mAm, 243Am 242Cm and 244Cm definition in 'hot' particles sampled in Chernobyl NPP surroundings, Opportunities to apply this method for identifying radionuclide content of spent nuclear fuel are discussed
