Description / Abstract: This document describes a test method for measuring actinides elements (²³⁸Pu, ^239+240Pu, ²⁴¹Am, ²⁴²Cm, ^243+244Cm and ²³⁷Np) in water samples by alpha spectrometry following a chemical separation.

The method can be used for any type of environmental study or monitoring.

The volume of the test portion required depends on the assumed activity of the sample and the desired detection limit.

The detection limit of the test method is 5 x 10-3 to 5 x 10-4 Bq/l for a volume of the test portion of 0,1 l to 5 l.
