IAEA Determination of Pu isotopes and Am-241 in soil and sediments by alpha
| Sample Type | Sediment |
|---|---|
| Elements | Am Pu |
| Radioisotopes | 239,240Pu, 238Pu, 241Am |
| Detection by | alpha | Description | In this report, a rapid procedure for the determination of Pu and Am radionuclides in soil and sediment samples is described that can be used in emergency situations. The method provides accurate and reliable results for the activity concentrations of elevated levels of 239,240Pu, 238Pu and 241Am in soil and sediment samples over the course of 24 hours. The procedure has been validated in accordance with ISO guidelines. |
