Abstract
An improvement of the method for the determination of americium by constant — current coulometry is proposed in order to prepare standardized samples used in alpha-spectrometry and mass spectrometry. The use of a microcomputer for automatic data acquisition and their numerical treatment is described. This method gives a precision of about 0,2% for 100 micrograms of americium (relative standard deviation of the mean, 95% confidence). The same technique is also suitable to prepare 244Cm reference solutions.
