THE DETERMINATION OF CAESIUM-137 IN URINE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4841037
A method is described for the determination of Cs/sup 137/ in urine. Samples are passed through a column containing ammonium phosphomolybdate which acts as a highly specific cation exchanger for Cs. Details are given of the recovery of the Cs from the column and of its purification and isolation in a form suitable for beta counting. The possible use of urine analysis to monitor current fall-out Cs/sup 137/ levels in diet and in the human body is discussed. Some examples of current levels are given. (auth)
