Progress in Analysis of Neptunium in Environmental Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry

Abstract:

In recent years, radionuclide monitoring and contamination control have been attached great importance. Wide attention has been paid to the measurement and analysis of Neptunium (²³⁷Np) as one of the radio-nuclides. With the development of mass-spectrometry technique, the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique, with its outstanding advantage, has been widely applied to the measurement of ²³⁷Np in environmental and biological samples. In this paper, the progress in analysis of ²³⁷Np in environmental samples with ICP-MS technique is overviewed.
