Vp. Perelygin et al., ON THE DETERMINATION OF SUBPICOGRAM CONCENTRATIONS OF PU IN ENVIRONMENT AND LIVING SPECIES, Radiation measurements, 25(1-4), 1995, pp. 355-358
The method of Pu-239 minor content determination based on subsequent a
ctivation with thermal neutrons and gamma-rays was applied for prepara
tions chemically separated from soils, water, river sediments and some
living species. The obtained level of sensitivity for routine analysi
s is proved to be equal 10(-13) gram Pu per gram of sample.
