Abstract
A comprehensive literature review and assessment was conducted to identify and evaluate radioanalytical technology and procedures used for measuring 10 CFR 61 radionuclides and other long-lived isotopes. This review evaluated radiochemical procedures currently in use at a number of laboratories in the United States, as well as identifying new advanced methods and techniques which could be adapted for routine radiochemical analyses of low-level radioactive waste.The 10 CFR 61 radionuclides include 14C, 60Co, 59,63Ni, 90Sr, 94Nb, 99Tc, 129I, 137Cs, and TRU Isotopes with half-lives greater than five years. The other low-level radionuclides of interest include 7,10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, 93Mo, 109,113mCd, and 121m,126Sn, which may be present in various types of waste streams from nuclear power stations.
