Description
The development of the accelerator mass spectrometer analysis 129I and its applications to oceanographic tracing from the point source releases by nuclear fuel reprocessing plants is reviewed. Some new data for 129I concentrations in the Mediterranean Sea are presented. The uses of Cs isotope information in conjunction with 129I data is examined and two possible strategies for the analysis of Cs isotopes by AMS are discussed: a) the sputtering of Cs+ ions using negative sputtering beams followed by charge changing to negative ions and b) the use of a resonant transfer canal to produce Cs-.
