Abstract

Preparation of source and sample holder is described for the Mössbauer studies of237Np and238U. For the Mössbauer measurement of237Np, a source assembly with small sources of241Am metal was developed taking account of the transport regulations for radioactive substances. The source assembly of241Am showed a sufficient activity enough to measure the Mössbauer spectra of237Np. In order to handle237Np compounds safely, trebly sealed holders were designed which could encapsulate237Np samples without the seepage of liquid helium. A source for238U Mössbauer measurement was also developed from a highly pure242PuO2.
