The efficient characterization of nuclear waste materials represents a significant challenge
during nuclear site decommissioning, with a range of radionuclides requiring measurement …

With the advocation of green analytical chemistry (GAC), the development of eco-and
operator friendly analytical practices is highly concerned. This could be more noteworthy for …

The radioactive fission products 135 Cs, 137 Cs and 90 Sr have been released into the
environment by human activities such as nuclear weapon tests, nuclear fuel reprocessing …

Achieving precise and accurate quantification of radium (226 Ra) and cesium (137 Cs) by
inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is of particular interest in the field of …

Current approaches to lowering the pH of basic media rely on the addition of a proton
source. An alternative approach is described herein that involves the liquid–liquid extraction …

The Fukushima nuclear accident caused the release of large amounts of radionuclides into
the environment. After the accident, radioactive contamination assessment in environmental …

For source identification, measurement of 135 Cs/137 Cs atomic ratio not only provides
information apart from the detection of 134 Cs and 137 Cs, but it can also overcome the …

Sample preparation is an indispensable process in sample analysis. Solid-phase extraction
technology can isolate and enrich target analytes from complex matrices, eliminating …

An analytical method was developed for the determination of ultralow level 135Cs in
environmental samples by chromatographic separation of cesium with AMP-PAN and …

The isotopic ratio of 135Cs/137Cs has been highlighted as a useful long-term tracer for
radioactive contamination source identification since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power …
