Lo. Wiikmann et al., COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF METHODS FOR DETERMINING METAL ELEMENTS IN URANIUM TAILINGS MATERIAL, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 216(1), 1997, pp. 125-128
This work presents a comparison of analytical results obtained for U,
Th, K, and Fe in solid material from tailings pond, carried out within
the CIPC's Tailings Management Program, with those achieved by instru
mental neutron activation analysis. The validity of the techniques app
lied for dissolution and determination of elements in high silicate gr
ade material, as the present case, can be assured by good agreement of
the results.
