Abstract
In conjunction with an extensive radiocarbon program, ANTARES has also carried out AMS measurement of the radioisotopes Al-26 and Cl-36 with the recent addition of I-129. Development of an AMS measurement capab ility for Be-10 and for the actinides is underway. These projects pose a range of technical challenges both in spectrometer performance and in sample preparation. This paper discusses the special aspects of the facility that have been developed to meet these needs, with emphasis on Cl-36, I-129 and plans for future actinide measurements.
