Abstract

This paper describes the analytical methods for the determination of237Np, Pu isotopes, and241Am, with particular emphasis on237Np by alpha-ray spectrometry and241Pu by liquid scintillation technique. Results are also presented for the sediment cores collected from Mikata Five Lakes in Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
