Am in low-level radioactive waste based on extraction chromatography and 
-ray spectrometryShimada, Asako

A new method for identifying Am in low-level radioactive waste (LLW) using -ray spectrometry is proposed. First, Eu, Am, and Cm in a digested solution of simulated LLW were separated from the major components of the digested solution and Pu using transuranium resin. Next, Am and Cm were separated from Eu using tetravalent actinide resin. A -ray spectrum of the fraction containing Am and Cm was recorded and the contribution of 
Np, which is a daughter nuclide of 
Am, was subtracted to determine the radioactivity of 
Am. The radioactivity of Am determined by -ray spectrometry agreed with that obtained by analyzing the increase in Cm in the Am fraction just after its separation from Cm with tertiary pyridine resin.
