was developed. Suitable conditions for iodine volatilization were tested. Iodine was trapped
in 1.5 mol L− 1 NaOH and precipitated as PdI 2· H 2 O by addition of PdCl 2 with recoveries
higher than 80%. The method was applied for analysis of contaminated soil, radioactive
sludge, evaporator concentrate and heterogeneous waste samples from nuclear power
plants in Slovak Republic. 129 I was measured on liquid scintillation counter TRI CARB …
