Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4053103
A description is given of the concentration and purification of Pa/sup 231/ obtained from ethereal sludge at Springfields and Windscale. The final amount had an alpha purity of 99.5 plus or minus 0.5% and a chemical purity of 99.7+%. Emission spectroscopy showed that impurities other than Zr and Fe, in- cluded Cr, Cs, B, Mg, and Al; alpha pulse analysis revealed an average 7% Pa/sup 231/ daughters present. (B.O.G.)
