An anion exchange-precipitation procedure for the determination of Na{sup 24} in reactor effluent water

Description: The isotope Na{sup 24} is one of the major short half-life constituents of reactor effluent water. It has a half-life of 15 hours and decays of emission of a 1.39 MeV maximum beta particle. Other radioisotopes present in reactor effluent water from which Na{sup 24} must be separated are Si{sup 31}, P{sup 32}, Mn{sup 56}, Cu{sup 64}, As{sup 76}, Sr{sup 91--92}, Ba{sup 139--140} and rare earths. This report describes a rapid and very simple method for the quantitative determination of Na{sup 24} … more

Sampling of scavenged waste

Description: Sampling and analysis of scavenged waste is necessary to determine if the settled supernate is suitable for disposal to ground and to make corrections in pretreatment of the waste with minimum delay if unsuitable supernate is being produced. From experience to date with TBP waste scavenging and initial first cycle waste scavenging, which are generally similar, the procedures discussed in this report for sampling, analysis, and reporting of results for these two wastes are recommended to fulfill… more

Studies of Factors in the Uptake of Sr/sup 90/. Site Survey: Fall, 1954

Description: A survey was made of levels of strontium-89 and strontium-90 from fallout in samples of soil, vegetation, and animal bone collected from selected pasture sites in North Carolina, New York, Georgia, Utah, and New Jersey during 1953 and 1954. The bone levels showed an average increase by a factor of 2.4. Data are presented graphically showing the relationship of the calcium content in the soil to strontium-90 uptake in animal bones. The ratio of strontium-90 to strontium-89 in the uptake cycle at… more
