This International Standard specifies a test method for measuring actinides (238Pu,239+240Pu,241Am,242Cm,243+244Cm and237Np) in water samples by alpha spectrometry following a chemical separation.The method can be used for any type of environmental study or monitoring.The volume of the test portion required depends on the assumed activity of the sample and the desired
detection limit.The detection limit of the test method is 5 × 10-3to 5 × 10-4Bq/l for a volume of the test portion of 0,1 l to 5 l with a counting time of two to ten days.Cross References:ISO 5667-1ISO 5667-3ISO 11929ISO 80000-10ISO/IEC 17025NF M 60-790-8:1999ISO/IEC Guide 98-3GUM:1995All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
