RADIOANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
Radioanalytical studies overview
- Development of novel preconcentration and sample decomposition techniques
- Development of novel procedures for the measurement of a and pure b emitting radionuclides
- High precision isotopic ratio measurements
- Development of in situ automated sampling equipment
- Development of rapid and automated analytical techniques
Studies include:
- Analytical approaches for the quantification of 3H in environmental and decommissioning samples
- Development of optimised procedures for the determination of 99Tc, U, Pu and Am in environmental materials
- Development of extraction chromatographic techniques for the separation of 55Fe and 63Ni from reactor effluents
- Analysis of 113mCd in irradiated Cd metal
- High precision isotopic analyses of U and Pu using multi-collector ICPMS
- Comparison of liquid scintillation counting and accelerator mass spectrometry for the quantification of 41Ca in bioshield concretes
