Description

This report describes a method for dosing small quantities of plutonium in a solution having a high concentration of salts. It shows the possibility of dosing up to 5.10-3 μg of Pu in the presence of 10 mg of NaNO3 with out decreasing the counting-rate. The only error possible is that in the counting. It is also possible to dose 10-3 μg of Pu in the presence of 1,7 mg of uranyl nitrate. (author)

Abstract (French)

Ce rapport decrit une methode de dosage de faibles quantites de plutonium dans une solution de forte concentration en sels. Il montre la possibilite de doser jusqu'a 5.10-3 μg de Pu en presence de 10 mg de NO3Na sans diminution du taux de comptage. La seule erreur que l'on puisse faire est l'erreur de comptage. On peut aussi doser 10-3 μg de Pu en presence de 1,7 mg de nitrate d'uranyle. (auteur)
