Development of a separation method using UTEVA and DGA resins for the quantification of plutonium and americium in brown algae by alpha spectrometry
Introduction: Decades of nuclear activities have polluted marine environments with transuranium actinides. Background: Brown algae have frequently been used as marine bioindicators of radioactivity, but current literature describing the sequential separation and determination of Pu and Am from brown algae matrices is sparse, and does not make use of recent extraction chromatographic resins such
