摘要: Abstract A method for rapid preparation of high-resolution α-sources by electrodeposition using isopropyl alcohol and direct drop deposition tetraethylene glycol was investigated, in order to determine the actinides (U, Np, Pu, Am Cm). Each actinide can be electrodeposited quantitatively within 15–20 min, energy resolution α-ray spectrum is 14–18 keV FWHM. By method, spent fuel deposited simultaneously; obtained measuring source 20–30
