Description

The method of direct instrumental determination of plutonium isotopes in soil samples is designed. For the designed method the special program of spectra processing and activity calculation is created. The limit of determination 239+240Pu in absence of interfering radiation has made about 200 Bq/kg (by 3.3σ criteria). There were given examples of the designed method application for study of radionuclide soil composition in separate objects of SNTS. It is shown that for different studied objects the degree of correlation between plutonium and americium activities may change greatly. (author)
