5. ACTINIDES IN URINE:

D. CAVADORE (CEA - Marcoule)

3 urine samples (about 500 mL):

- 1 blank
- 1 identified sample spiked with 230Thorium, and possibly with other actinides
- 1 identified sample containing at least Plutonium and Americium. It may be spiked with other actinides from a pre-defined list that is provided to the participants.

Remarks: The total activity of one of the active samples will be between 0 and 0.005 Bq, the activity of the other sample will be between 0.005 and 0.020 Bq.

EXPRESSION OF RESULTS Bq.sample-1

Each laboratory will have to measure the exact activity.

Plutonium Reference solution

Each laboratory that takes part in the "Actinides in urine exercise" will receive a sample (v = 15 - 20 mL) of a plutonium acid solution (activity = 10 - 100 Bq.L-1).

EXPRESSION OF RESULTS Bq.L-1

Each laboratory will have to measure the exact activity.
