Applications in the Characterization of High-Level Nuclear Waste

Applications Involving the Monitoring of the Nuclear Industry s Impact ON the Environment 

It is crucial that the nuclear industry not only be able to safely dispose of its low-level waste and monitor its impact on the environment, but also be responsible for cleaning up old sites related to nuclear power and the production of nuclear weapons. These types of environmental remediation and monitoring activities can generate an

Applications of ICP-MS to Radionuclide Determinations, Ed. R. W. Morrow and J. S. Crain, ASTM, 

An example of this approach was reported by Hollenbach and coworkers, who determined a suite of radionuclides P°Th, Pu, and Pu) with relatively long half-lives in a series of soil samples using automated FI to separate the matrix and preconcentrate the analytes by the use of solid-phase extraction and pass the eluent directly into the ICP-MS nebulizer. Detection capabilities in solution (becquerel/liter—Bq/L) and directly in the soil (becquerel/kilogram—Bq/kg) using this methodology are shown in Table 19.11.
