OSTI ID:7124995
An instrumental analysis method for /sup 241/Am concentration and the Pu//sup 241/Am ratio measurements has been developed. The /sup 241/Am is measured by gamma-ray spectrometry. The Pu//sup 241/Am ratio is estimated from the uranium and the neptunium L/sub beta/ x-ray ratios measured with a Si(Li) detector. The accuracy and sensitivity of the method was found to be adequate for ecological research applications. 8 figures, 7 tables.
