Radioactive gases are passed longitudinally through a long chamber containing an electrically charged stainless steel rod. When one of the gas nuclei decays in the chamber, the daughter nucleus is drawn to the rod. After a given period of exposure to the gas, the rod is sectioned and examined by gamma spectrometry. The short-lived nuclides Kr/sup 89/, Kr/sup 91/, Kr/sup 92/, Xe/ sup 138/, Xe/sup 139/, Xe/sup 140/, and Xe/sup 141/ are determined in the gas by this method, by means of determinations of the activities on the rod of their daughters Rb/sup 89/, Sr/sup 91/, Sr/sup 92/, Cs/sup 137/, Cs/sup 138/, Ba/sup 139/ Ba/sup 140/, and La/sup 141/ respectively. The distributions of the decay activities along the rod agree with theoretical predictions. (T.F.H.)
