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

项目摘要/摘要-Track2 该项目这一轨道的目标是发展分析食物的必要能力 除了现有的分析能力外，还提供阿尔法放射性核素样品 伽马发射器。为此，一种具有32个阿尔法室的阿尔法光谱分析系统 已经捐赠给健康物理计划的人将被维修并重新放回 运行状况。此外，样品消化、放化的必要方法 将使用标准参考对分离和源准备进行测试和验证 材料。将对一名研究生研究助理进行培训，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.
