    Radioanalytical methods for sequential analysis of actinide isotopes in activated carbon filter‑bed waste
    2020 - GERALDO, BIANCA; ARAUJO, LEANDRO G. de; VICENTE, ROBERTO; TADDEI, MARIA H.T.; CHEBERLE, SANDRA M.; MARUMO, JULIO T.
    In this work, we compare methods for the sequential determination of U and the transuranium elements Np, Pu, Am, and Cm. The chemical yield, the time spent in the analysis, the amount of secondary waste, and the costs of each method are the aspects of interest. Two methods were compared: extraction chromatography (EC) and ion exchange plus extraction chromatography (IE + EC). The chemical yields of (EC) and (IE + EC) were similar for all radionuclides. The (EC) method is the more effective with respect to time of analysis, the amount of secondary waste and costs.

    Radiochemical characterization of spent filter cartridges from the primary circuit of a research reactor
    2019 - GERALDO, BIANCA; ARAUJO, LEANDRO G. de; TADDEI, MARIA H.T.; FERREIRA, MARCELO T.; MADUAR, MARCELO F.; VICENTE, ROBERTO; MARUMO, JULIO T.
    Radiochemical-based analyses have been used for the characterization of radioactive waste. Nevertheless, the determination of alpha, beta and gamma emitters by radiochemical analysis of spent cartridge filters from a swimming-pool type reactor has not been previously addressed. This work aims at identifying and quantifying the radionuclides present in this waste, including the difficult to measure radionuclides. The distribution of the radionuclides in the filter was investigated by the determination of gamma-emitting nuclides and the z-score of the measured activity concentrations. The results indicated that all the filters are homogeneous, meeting the homogeneity criteria recommended by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
