THE DETERMINATION OF PLUTONIUM IN URINE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4134141
An improved method was developed for the determination of plutonium in urine. Plutonium is cocrystallized with potassium rhodizonate from urine, and separated from interfering substances by coprecipitation with lanthanum followed by ion exchange. Finally, the radioelement is electrodeposited onto a tantalum disc and alpha counted. The analysis required 5 to 6 hr. (auth)
