Abstract
An accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) facility for measurements of 10Be has been developed by upgrading the 15UD Pelletron accelerator at Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi. Details of the up gradation of the facilities and the measurement procedure are described briefly. Chemical processing for the separation of 10Be from manganese nodules and results of recent experiments on 10Be are presented.
