Abstract

For the determination of specific activity of63Ni, a method has been developed for simultaneous assessment of both stable and radionickel. The method comprises solvent extraction of Ni-dimethylglyoxime into xylene for spectroscopic measurement and liquid scintillation counting of the extractant. The application of the method has been successful for63Ni in the corrosion products accumulated on the wall surface in the primary circuiting tube of the reactor.
