Abstract

A simple separation method for determination of 107Pd employing Ni ®Resin was established. Suitable conditions for Pd separation were tested. Palladium was adsorbed on Ni ®Resin from 0.5 mol L−1 HCl and eluted with 8 mol L−1 HNO3 with recoveries higher than 70 % determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The method was applied for analysis of evaporator concentrate and radioactive sludge samples from nuclear power plants in Slovak Republic. In all analyzed samples were activity concentrations of 107Pd below minimum detectable activity. 107Pd was measured on liquid scintillation counter (TRICARB 2900/TR) using Ultima Gold AB scintillation cocktail.
