【 摘 要 】

Prior to final dispositioning of Savannah River Site (SRS) residual depleted uranium (DU) following reactor irradiation the amount of contamination from other radionuclides must be determined. The Nonproliferation Technology Section (NTS) was requested by the SRS Nuclear Materials Management Division (NMMD) to analyze a number of samples in the SRTC/NTS clean labs. The requested analytes were Am-241, Np-237, Ra-226, Cs-137, I-129, Tc-99, Sr-90 and the plutonium isotopes from 238 through 242. The NTS routinely analyzes all types of samples for trace plutonium by mass spectrometry. The other analytes are routinely analyzed only in environmental samples. This report documents the analytical data and the analysis methods developed and used for these analyses. All requested analytes were determined to be less than one tenth of the waste acceptance criteria in all samples analyzed.
