Analytical laboratories method No. 4002 - the radiometric determination of radium-226 and radium-228 in various matrices

Technical Report · Thu Sep 18 04:00:00 EDT 1986

OSTI ID:6951700

This method is applicable to the analysis of sump effluents and production by-product materials that are soluble in mineral acids. This method is used to separate, and analyze, Ra-226 and Ra-228 from solutions containing uranium, thorium, decay products, and nonradioactive materials. Typical analysis time for both Ra-226 and Ra-228 is three days. The radium isotopes can be determined to a lower detection limits of 0.010 d/m-mL.
