New analytical methods developed at the facilities here, based on two ultra-sensitive mass spectrometry (MS) techniques, inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometer with a desolvator system (Aridus-ICP-SFMS) and accelerator MS (AMS), have been applied in this work for the reassessment of 239Pu in alpha spectrometry (AS) planchets...

A new and highly sensitive method for the determination of 239Pu in human urine has been developed permitting the reassessment of planchets initially prepared for alpha spectrometry (AS) analysis in the context of internal dosimetry. A set of urine samples (volume: 500 mL) was spiked with known quantities of 239Pu, ranging from 2 to 120 fg (4.6...
