n products, Zr/sup 95/-Nb/sup 95/, Ce/sup 144/ Pm/sup 147/, Y/sup 90/, Sr/sup 90/, Ru/sup 106/ s, and Cs/sup 137/, by the four-step liquid-liquid extractions was presented. First, Zr/sup 95/ and Nb/sup 95/ were extracted from a 5 M hydrochloric acid solution into chloroform with cupferron. Second, rare- earth nuclides, Ce/sup 144/ Pm/sup 147/, and Y/sup 90/ were extracted fr om an acetate buffered solution of pH 4 to 5 into chloroform with cupferron. Third, Sr/ sup 90/ was extracted from an acetate buffered solution of pH 8 into hexone (methyl isobutyl ketone) with TTA (2-thenoyl-trifluoroacetone). Fourth, Ru/sup 106/ was extracted from 5 M hydrochloric acid solution with TBP (tri-n-butyl phosphate)-kerosene in the presence of stannous chloride or extracted with TBP in the presence of hydroxylamine. Then Cs/sup 137/ r was left in the last aqueous solution. Strippings of nuclides extracted in the organic phases could be attained by shaking each organic phase with nitric acid. (auth)
