Abstract
An anion exchange-liquid scintillation procedure for detecting enriched uranium alpha emissions in urine is described. Uranium is removed from extraneous elements by anion exchange. The uranium is eluted from the column and extracted into a liquid scintillator before being counted in a photon-electron rejecting alpha liquid scintillation spectrometer. The average recovery was 92 percent at the 0.9 dpm level.Keywords
