Abstract
This report describes the radiochemical methods of analysis developed at FOI NBC Defence during the last few years. The radioactive elements and nuclides that can be determined with these methods are U, Pu, Am(Cm) and 90Sr, and the kinds of samples the methods have been developed for are water, vegetation, soil and air filter. The report consists of two parts of which the first describes the techniques we have chosen to work with , the reasons why we have chosen these and some results from the usage of these methods. The second part (Appendix) is a laboratory manual describing the methods in more detail. In the report, results from a few years participation in an intercomparison arranged by the Environmental Measurements Laboratory (DOS, USA) are summarised, and it is shown that the performance of the methods described in this report is good.
