The use of yield tracers for the determination of alpha-emitting actinides in the marine environment

摘要: Abstract The need for yield tracers and their general analytical application is briefly discussed more fully expanded in the context of radiochemical determination alpha-emitting actinides. important nuclides actinide elements found marine environment are listed. environmental significance implications arising from multiplicity valency states amongst earlier members series noted. that available analyses selection suitability particular applications precautions to be observed use given. Use dual tracer technique study speciation actinides with special reference plutonium sea water. limited applicability as a neptunium noted latest developments investigation 235Np an alternative possibility joint americium curium these two explored.
