Abstract
An ion-exchange procedure for simultaneous determination of 234U, 235U, 236U, 238U, 238Pu, 239 + 240Pu, 241Am, and 244Cm in groundwater and liquid radioactive wastes is described. The concentration and separation of U and Pu are performed on AV-17 anion exchanger in the chloride form from 9 M HCl. Am and Cm are separated from rare-earth elements by step-by-step elution from KU-2 cation-exchange resin in the NH +4 form with α-hydroxyisobutyric acid (pH 4.75). Finally, U, Pu, Am, and Cm are determined α-spectrometrically.
