Abstract
A unique procedure permitting the determination of99Tc and129I in the same portion of sample is presented. Various matrices of environmental waste samples are spiked with95Tc and iodide carrier, ashed, fused, and analyzed. The matrices analyzed included various types of filters, resin, evaporator salts, floor silt, sludge and charcoal. The technetium isotopes and iodine isotopes are sequentilly separated by organic extraction techniques.
