Synopsis:

The course focuses on properties, chemical behaviour, speciation, and origin of radionuclides, which are considered to be problematic for their behaviour in radioactive waste or for the determination of their activity. The radionuclides monitored in the radioactive waste repositories are of the main interest. For these radionuclides, various separation and measurement methods needed for their determination in common matrices will be discussed. Determination and use of correlation factors will be explained as well as the reasons and consequences of the legal activity limits of the respective radionuclides.
