Abstract
Using an ammonium oxalate-ammonium sulfate electrolyte, a simple, quantitative, and fast technique for preparing sources for analytical alpha spectrometry was developed. To determine the optimum conditions for plating plutonium, parameters such as current density .and pH of electrolyte affacting the electrodeposition of the plutonium have been investigated. An optimized electrodeposition step for the determination of plutonium has been validated with a result of application to IAEA-Reference Soils. The new method of fallout Pu determination has been applied to environmental samples such as soil, sediment and moss samples in Korea.
