Abstract
A procedure for separation of plutonium from some biological and environmental materials has been tested in model and real conditions. The procedure involves a commonly used way of conversion of plutonium to oxidation state (IV) in nitric acid medium and sorption of Pu(IV) on a strongly basic anion exchanger from hydrochloric acid medium thus eliminating interference of228Th with the238Pu analysis.
