Abstract

Two separation techniques for plutonium determination using IBC′S AnaLig® Pu02 molecular recognition technology product (MRT) and extraction chromatography TRU® resin (Eichrom ®Industries) to effectively and selectively separate and recover plutonium were tested. The performance of the methods was successfully tested by analysis of NPL (High Alpha–Beta 2003, 2005) intercomparison sample and radioactive sludge sample from NPP A1 Jaslovské Bohunice with high activities of the plutonium radionuclides. The results obtained for both procedures were compared in terms of activities and recoveries.
