On the applicability of radionuclides emitting low energy X-rays for in situ radiotracer adsorption studies

Radiochemistry

“…The low energy X-rays emitted by some radionuclides (e.g. 51 Cr) can be utilized 144 for their analysis; the method is especially sensitive for surface contamination. In many other analytical procedures anion-exchange columns are widely used, as in the measurement of iron-55 and nickel-63 in environmental samples, 145 or the determination of nickel-63 in water, 146 or niobium-93m and -94 in nuclear power wastes, 147 of radiostrontium in fish.…”
