Improvements in Glendenin's procedure for the determimation of fission product ruthenium have been made. The distillation from perchloric acid has been replaced by ABSTRACTS a more rapid distillation from a dilute suifuric acid- sodium bismuthate mixture. Conditions for the quantitative volatilization and collection of the tetroxide, as well as reduction to the dioxide, have been established. Reduction to the metal for a yield determimation is no longer necessary. The analysis time has been halved and the precision has been improved by a factor of three. (auth)
