Title: Characterization of uranium and plutonium in surface-waters and sediments collected at the Rocky Flats Facility

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10150397· OSTI ID:10150397

This study was initiated to characterize actinides in environmental samples collected at the Rocky Flats Plant (RFP). Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS) measurement techniques were used to measure the plutonium and uranium content of water and sediment samples collected from the ponds used to control surface-waters on-site at RFP. TIMS was also used to separate the uranium into anthropogenic and naturally occurring components. The results of these studies are presented.
