Technetium Measurements by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry at LLNL
Technetium-99 is a long-lived, high-abundance fission product which has been widely distributed in the environment through atmospheric testing, the nuclear fuel cycle, and nuclear medicine. It has a high potential for migration in the environment as the pertechnetate anion. At the Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, methods are being developed for the detection of this radionuclide by acc...
متن کاملAccelerator Mass Spectrometry at Vera
The Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator (VERA) is a dedicated facility for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), operated at the University of Vienna since 1996. The principle of AMS with VERA and the advantage of measuring long-lived radioisotopes by atom counting (AMS) rather than decay counting (ß decay) is described. A brief overview on AMS applications is also presented.
متن کامل36Cl/Cl Accelerator-Mass-Spectrometry Standards: Verification of Their Serial-Dilution-Solution Preparations by Radioactivity Measurements
A consortium of accclerator-mass-spectrometry (AMS) laboratories recently prepared a series of 36Cl/Cl isotopic ratio AMS standards by an eight-step serial gravimetric dilution scheme. Of the resulting nine solutions, only the latter six could be assayed by AMS to confirm the gravimetric dilution factors. This paper provides the results of relative radioactivity measurements on the first four s...
متن کاملSample preparation for quantitation of tritium by accelerator mass spectrometry.
The capability to prepare samples accurately and reproducibly for analysis of tritium (3H) content by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) greatly facilitates isotopic tracer studies in which attomole levels of 3H can be measured in milligram-sized samples. A method has been developed to convert the hydrogen of organic samples to a solid, titanium hydride, which can be analyzed by AMS. Using a t...
متن کاملMeasurement of Radioactive Caesium Isotopes by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry
The first measurements of the radioactive Cs and Cs isotopes were made on an accelerator mass spectrometer. The natural Ba interference was suppressed using an isobar separator for anions (ISA) in order to measure the less abundant isobaric Cs and Cs isotopes. It was found that the Ba interference could be suppressed by a factor of 2×10 while 25% of Cs was transmitted. Furthermore, through comp...
