Abstract

The use of nuclide95Zr as radiotracer is often unfavourably influenced by the continuous accumulation of the radioactive daughter nuclide95Nb. The present paper gives a method showing how the daughter radioactivity can influence the value of the distribution coefficient of zirconium calculated from radioactivity measurements. A simple method of continuous purification of95Zr, which yields a product of the required degree of purity, is also described.
