Discipline C: Radiochemistry, Analytical Track 2: Radiochemistry Capability/Capacity Development (Extension-Alpha)

项目摘要/摘要-轨道2 该项目的目标是发展分析食品的必要能力 除了现有的分析能力外， 伽马射线发射器为此目的，具有32个阿尔法室的阿尔法光谱测定系统， 已捐赠给健康物理计划将得到服务，并放置回 操作条件。此外，还介绍了必要的样品消解方法、放射化学分析方法、 分离和源制备将使用标准参考进行测试和验证 材料.研究生研究助理将接受培训，以执行所需的实验室 在实验室主任的监督下进行操作。

Project Summary/Abstract – Track2 The goal of this track of the project is to develop the necessary capabilities to analyze food samples for alpha-emitting radionuclides in addition to the existing capabilities to analyze for gamma-emitters. For this purpose, an alpha spectrometry system with 32 alpha chambers that has been donated to the Health Physics program will be serviced and placed back into operational condition. In addition, the necessary methods for sample digestion, radiochemical separation and source preparation will be tested and validated using standard reference materials. A Graduate Research Assistant will be trained to perform the required laboratory operations under the supervision of the laboratory director.
