Popis: Waste cleanup efforts currently underway at the Savannah River Site have created a need to characterize Radium-226 levels in the various high activity waste matrices currently in Site inventories. The traditional method our laboratory used for analyzing Ra-226 in higher activity matrices was based on classic cation exchange methodology. Radiochemical separations were often initiated in remotely operated shielded analytical cells followed by additional hands-on separations in radiological hoods. Methodology based on IBC advanced technologies SuperLig 640 extractant, mounted in 3M Empore filter media has been developed to streamLine the radium analyses.
