A new HCl-free chromatographic separation procedure has been developed for sequential separation of Zr and Mo from concrete matrices. Accordingly, $$^{93}$$Zr and $$^{93}$$Mo could be sensitively and selectively measured by ICP-MS/MS using ammonia reaction gas. The recoveries of greater than 90% for Zr and Mo from concretes could be achieved. The measurement condition was optimized for complete suppression of interferences from $$^{93}$$Nb and peak tailing from abundant isotopes of Zr and Mo in concrete matrices. The removal of interferences was verified by measurement of radio-contamination-free concretes used as a sample matrix blank. Method detection limits of 1.7 mBq g$$^{-1}$$ and 0.2 Bq g$$^{-1}$$ were achieved for $$^{93}$$Zr and $$^{93}$$Mo, respectively, in the concrete matrices. The interference removal factor for Nb (equivalent to the decontamination factor in radiochemical separation) was of the order of 10$$^{5}$$, and the abundance sensitivity was of the order of 10$$^{-8}$$, indicating that the developed method is reliable for verifying the presence of ultralow concentrations of $$^{93}$$Zr and $$^{93}$$Mo. The present method is suitable for the rapid assessment of $$^{93}$$Zr and $$^{93}$$Mo for radioactivity inventory of concrete rubble.

The paper presents removal of possible interferences including from an isobar ($$^{93}$$Nb) and tailings of adjacent peaks for the quantification of $$^{93}$$Zr and $$^{93}$$Mo using an ICP-MS/MS (Agilent 8900). By using ammonia gas (NH$$_{3}$$) as a reaction gas, $$^{93}$$Zr and $$^{93}$$Mo can be separated from each other and from $$^{93}$$Nb owing to the different reactions of those elements with the reaction gas. Based on the characterization results, we propose a measurement scheme aiming at quantification of $$^{93}$$Zr and $$^{93}$$Mo in environmental samples collected at adjacent location of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

In order to simplify the analysis of $$^{93}$$Zr and $$^{93}$$Mo in radioactive waste from conventional radiation measurement, we have considered analysis method combining solid-phase extraction and ICP-MS/MS. In this presentation, we report the results of a study on sequential chemical separation of Zr and Mo from Nb and sample matrix using ZR resin as a solid-phase extraction resin.

The Okuma Analysis and Research Center has been established to analyze the decommissioning wastes collected from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (1F). Radioactive material analysis and research facility 1 (Laboratory-1) where analyses of the low and intermediate-level wastes are preliminarily tested has started the operation from October 2022. Among the selected radionuclides to be analyzed, long-lived radionuclides can be measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, which offers more rapid measurement and higher sensitivity compared to radiometry. The modern configuration of tandem triple quadrupoles (called ICP-QQQ-MS or ICP-MS/MS) enables the effective control of interferences that can simplify the chemical separation process and thus reduces the total time of analysis. The presentation summarizes our recent advances in research and development of analytical methods for the selected long-lived radionuclides such as $$^{93}$$Zr, $$^{93}$$Mo, $$^{107}$$Pd, $$^{126}$$Sn, and $$^{79}$$Se by ICP-MS/MS, aiming at applications to the measurement of samples collected in the vicinity of 1F. The analytical method development and recently obtained results are discussed in detail.
