Determination of Technetium-99, Neptunium-237 and Isotopes of Thorium in Uranyl Nitrate Solutions From a Reprocessing Plant, Using Double-Focusing ICP-MS

Source

The determination of some radionuclides in uranyl nitrate solutions from a reprocessing plant through chemical or radiochemical methods may be tedious, with poor precision. Quadrupole ICP-MS and, more recently, double-focusing ICP-MS, with high resolution capabilities, have proved to be very efficient tools for such determinations. These improvements will be illustrated by the examples of Technetium-99, Neptunium-237 and Thorium.
