Abstract
A rapid and reliable method for determination of Sr-90 in soil and sediment has been developed. The method is based on lithium-berate fusion and extra ction chromatography with a Sr-resin. The samples can be dissolved and sepa rated for Sr in approximately 5 hours of which the fusion and dissolution r equires 20 minutes. The method has been applied to four reference materials , two soils and two sediments, and the results agree well with the recommen ded values. The mean recovery of Sr was 71%.
