Abstract

A comprehensive literature review and assessment was conducted to identify and evaluate radioanalytical technology and procedures used for measuring 10 CFR 61 radionuclides and other long-lived isotopes. This review evaluated radiochemical procedures currently in use at a number of laboratories in the US, as well as identifying new advanced methods and techniques which could be adapted for routine radiochemical analyses of low-level radioactive waste.
The 10 CFR 61 radionuclides include ¹⁴C, ⁶⁰Co, ^59,63Ni, ⁹⁰Sr, ⁹⁴Nb, ⁹⁹Tc, ¹²⁹I, ¹³⁷Cs, and TRU Isotopes with half-lives greater than five years. The other low-level radionuclides of interest include ^7,10Be, ²⁶Al, ³⁶Cl, ⁹³Mo, ^109,113mCd, and ^121m,126Sn, which may be present in various types of waste streams from nuclear power stations.
