THE ANALYSIS OF BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES FOR POLONIUM
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4242557
A method has been developed for the estimation of very small amounts of polonium in urine and other biological samples. Suitable procedures for the initial preparation and oxidation of the materials followed by extraction, deposition, and counting of the polonium are described. The method involves the removal of organic material by wet oxidation and co-precipitation of the polonium with tellurium. The polonium is then separated from the tellurium and deposited on one side of a silver foil for counting. The over-all recovery has been tested with spiked samples and is about 85 per cent. The analytical procedure is given in detail in an appendix. (auth)
