The radioactive liquid wastes as a result of nuclear fission of uranium-235 contain many of radioisotopes, the two main of them are cesium-137 (137Cs) and strontium-90 (90Sr) due to their long half live and their dangerous on human and environment. 137Cs is gamma and beta ray emitter in the same time and the detection of it may be by gamma spectroscopy system, while 90Sr is pure beta ray emitter and the detection of it may be by the liquid scintillation counter or Cherenkov ray technique. By the available means which available in our laboratories, the detection of 137Cs is available, while 90Sr detection is not. By gamma spectroscopy system may measure just the radioactivity concentration of cesium while in gross alpha beta counter only record the counts that a result of the beta particles reaction with the detector material which produced by the two isotopes (137Cs and 90Sr) and not distinguish them. A new and a simple method of separating cesium and strontium from a liquid sample has been developed by thermal evaporation because of the difference in their evaporation degree. The used method is chemical separation, which is costly and complex and is not currently available in our laboratories.Comments are disabled.
