Abstract

Radioactive strontium is a nuclear fission decay product found in industrial products and nuclear waste and is released during nuclear accidents. Current urine radiostrontium separation methods often are based on the use of Sr resin columns or cartridges (Eichrom Technologies). Most of these analytical methods use stable Sr as a tracer, with subsequent Sr recovery. The gravimetric recovery method requires 120 times more stable Sr than does the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry method described here. This difference can affect cartridge performance especially with aging cartridges.
