Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) in plutonium analysis
The paper summarizes the results of the 240Pu/239Pu atomic ratio studies in atmospheric fallout samples collected in 1986 over Gdynia (Poland) as well as three Baltic fish species collected in 1997 using the accelerator mass spectrometry. A new generation of AMS has been developed during last years and this method is an efficient and good technique to measure long-lived radioisotopes in the env...
متن کاملA highly sensitive method for the reassessment and quantification of Pu in urine samples based on a 1 MV accelerator mass spectrometry system
A new and highly sensitive method for the determination of Pu in human urine has been developed permitting the reassessment of planchets initially prepared for alpha spectrometry (AS) analysis in the context of internal dosimetry. A set of urine samples (volume: 500 mL) was spiked with known quantities of Pu, ranging from 2 to 120 fg (4.6 mBq–0.3 mBq), employing 14 pg (2.05 mBq) of Pu as intern...
متن کاملDevelopment of Analytical Techniques for Studies on Dispersion of Actinides in the Environment and Characterization of Environmental Radioactive Particles
Radioactive particles from three locations were investigated for elemental composition, oxidation states of matrix elements, and origin. Instrumental techniques applied to the task were scanning electron microscopy, X-ray and gamma-ray spectrometry, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and synchrotron radiation based microanalytical techniques comprising X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, X-ray fluor...
متن کاملContinuous transport of Pacific-derived anthropogenic radionuclides towards the Indian Ocean
Unusually high concentrations of americium and plutonium have been observed in a sediment core collected from the eastern Lombok Basin between Sumba and Sumbawa Islands in the Indonesian Archipelago. Gamma spectrometry and accelerator mass spectrometry data together with radiometric dating of the core provide a high-resolution record of ongoing deposition of anthropogenic radionuclides. A pluto...
متن کاملPlutonium fecal and urinary excretion functions: derivation from a systemic whole-body retention function.
Liver-bile secretion directly influences the content of plutonium in feces. To assess the reliability of plutonium metabolic models and to improve the accuracy of interpreting plutonium fecal data, we developed a compartmental model that simulates the metabolism of plutonium in humans. With this model, we can describe the transport of plutonium contaminants in the systemic organs and tissues of...
