Abstract
A method is presented for the determination of uranium isotopes in waters by the scintillation-extraction method. By extraction with tributyl phosphate (TBP) in toluene as a liquid scintillator it was established that the presence of TBP in the solvent does not affect the photo-yield substantially. The optimum measuring conditions and the sensitivity of the method have been studied.
