CONT

L’analyse par comptage ou spectrométrie alpha a été depuis longtemps la méthode de traces la plus utilisée pour le plutonium (Pu[exposants 238, 239 et 240]). Elle est encore une des techniques les plus sensibles, mais sa sélectivité diminue en fonction de la complexité des combustibles; une séparation est souvent nécessaire.
