Description

The method for measurement of alpha-emitting Pu isotopes by means of characteristic Lx-radiation of uranium in environmental samples has been proposed. This method was compared with standard radiochemistry determination of Pu isotopes in soil samples from the Red forest. The results of comparison between both methods have a high correlation
