Abstract

Analytical procedures for measuring various radionuclides in the²³⁸U and²³²Th chains in briney waters are described. Using methods such as mass spectrometry, and alpha, beta and gamma spectrometry, the desired measurement sensitivity required for each of the radionuclides is achieved.²³³U,²²⁸Th,²⁰⁸Po,²¹²Pb, and¹³³Ba are used as tracers for chemical yield recoveries. Typical precision of the results range from 5–20%.
