Abstract

A procedure using high performance ion chromatography coupled with on-line scintillation counting and described for the determination of nickel-63 and technecium-99 radioisotopes in irradiated stainless steel. Commercially available chromatograph équipment, columns and online scintillation detectors were used. The method provides detection limits for63Ni and99Tc within the range needed the determination of these radioisotopes in class “C” waste streams at our facility. The method had a precision of 2% and 7% RSD for63Ni and respecespectively.
