A technique is proposed for determining radioruthenium in water samples by making use of concentrating it by a nonisotopic manganese carrier. It is shown that to ensure a correspondence between the degrees of extraction of the radionuclide and the carrier it is necessary to oxidize the ruthenium to Ru(VI, VIII) by sodium hypochlorite or potassium periodate. The technique enables the determination of radioruthenium to be simplified, and the degree of extraction to be increased, and it obviates the necessity to employ expensive precious metallic ruthenium in the analysis.
