Sr, Pu, Cs, Am and Fe radionuclides in seawater samples
| Sample Type | Water |
|---|---|
| Elements | Am Cs Fe Pu Sr |
| Radioisotopes | 90Sr, 137Cs, 241Am, 239,240Pu, 55Fe |
| Detection by | alpha, beta | Description | The following method is a historical internal technical manual from the V.T. Bowen laboratory at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. It describes sequential extraction methods for the isolation of Se, Cs, Am, Pu and Fe radioisotopes in large seawater samples. This method was recorded by Lyn Brady Clarke and William R. Clark. Additional information may be found in the publication: Bowen, V.T. et al., 1980, Fallout radionuclides in the Pacific Ocean: Vertical and horizontal distributions, largely from GEOSECS stations. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, V49, 411- 434.
