Abstract
The classification of low and medium level radioactive wastes produced regularly by nuclear power plants is becoming ever more important in Mexico, after a few years of running the first of two units, 600 MeV each, in Laguna Verde nuclear power plant. This paper describes a method to separate and detect traces of the weak β-emitter63Ni, which is one of the activation products used to classify low and medium level radioactive wastes originating from the operation of nuclear power plants.
