Abstract
A procedure is proposed for single-sample determination of Sr and Pu r adionuclides in various environmental objects. Based on successive det ermination of Pu by ion-exchange chromatography and Sr by extraction c hromatography, this method gives reliable results, reducing by half th e time required for sample preparation and transfer of the radionuclid es into solution, and by many times the time required for Sr determina tion, as compared to the wildely used procedure for Sr-90 determinatio n by the daughter Y-90.
