Title: A Novel Method for the Determination of Gross Transuranic Activity in Uranium Compounds

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7090

A Method is described to determine gross transuranic activity present in Uranium compounds and HP smears. From one count and one spectrum, three or more isotopes can be quantified. The method involves a simple digestion prep, sample extraction and precipitation. Results are obtained quickly with a very small expenditure on the part of the analytical lab.
