Rapid activation product separations from fission products and soil matrixes

A rapid method for the separation and qualitative analysis of several neutron activation products ( 198 Au, 192 Ir, 72 Ga, 51 Cr, 191/195m/197 Pt, 54 Mn, 57 Co, and 59 Fe) from fission products and soil matrixes has been developed. Analytes were isolated within 20 h using ion exchange chromatography...

Description
Summary:A rapid method for the separation and qualitative analysis of several neutron activation products ( 198 Au, 192 Ir, 72 Ga, 51 Cr, 191/195m/197 Pt, 54 Mn, 57 Co, and 59 Fe) from fission products and soil matrixes has been developed. Analytes were isolated within 20 h using ion exchange chromatography. After separation, the activation products were characterized by γ-spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy. Validation experiments demonstrated versatility of the method, showing that the activation products could be isolated from fresh fission products and other contaminants associated with complex soil matrixes.
