Abstract
An analytical procedure for the determination of plutonium isotopes (238Pu,239 Pu and 240Pu) with low detection limit was examined for reliability and accuracy. This procedure is based on chemical separation by ion exchange followed by alpha spectroscopy analysis. The technique and the suggested method were applied on tensamples of IAEA reference materials. A good agreement between the results is obtained by this procedure and the certified values were found. The suggested analytical method may be used for the analysis of contaminated samples for safeguards purposes.
