Abstract

In order to deliver reliable results for a multitude
of different scenarios, e.g. emergency preparedness, environmental
monitoring, nuclear decommissioning and waste
management, there is a constant process of method
development in the field of radioanalytical chemistry. This
work presents the results of a method comparison exercise
aimed at quantifying 90Sr and 239,240Pu in environmental
soil samples, with the intention of evaluating the performance
and applicability of different methods. From the
methods examined in this work, recommendations are
given in order to find a radioanalytical measurement procedure,
for 90Sr and 239,240Pu analysis, which is fit-forpurpose
for a particular scenario.
