Abstract
Two procedures are described for fast separations of berkelium from complex mixtures of reaction products arising from heavy ion reactions, such as18O+248Cm. The first procedure uses a combination of several extraction steps with a final separation on a cation exchanger, the second procedure starts with an anion exchange column which is followed by multiple extractions in different media. The elements separated in the different steps were analyzed and overall decontamination factors are given.
