Abstract
For the determination of 210Po in water samples, two alternative procedures (a) DDTC solvent extraction and (b) extraction chromatography using Sr Resin were selected and then validated in terms of trueness, repeatability and reproducibility with a tap water spiked with a known amount of 210Po. In this work the optimization conditions for the auto-deposition of Po for source preparation were also studied.
