RADIOACTIVITY LEVEL OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS AROUND XINJIANG NUCLEAR TESTING SITE AND ESTIMATED POPULATION DOSE

Results are reported on a research for the radioactive level in the investigation region and the control region around the Xinjiang Nuclear Testing Site from 1982 to 1987. There are no significant differences on the land γ radiation level, nor in the radioactive level in the soil, food and water between the two regions. The distribution and transfer of 90Sr, 137Cs and Pu in various kinds of soil are also discussed. It is estimated that the effective dose equivalent of radiation, undergone by the residents around the Testing Site is only 2.9% of that of natural radiation taken yearly by people in normal areas.     

ICP-MS测量超痕量钚时质谱干扰的消除及水中钚的测定

研究了感应耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)测定超痕量钚时的质谱干扰及干扰元素的去除;建立了环境水样中超痕量钚的测定方法。方法所用的解吸液适于ICP-MS直接进样,并有效地消除铅等元素形成的多原子离子干扰。测量了溶液中的m／z238和2％HNO3空白液中的^239Pu和^242Pu计数率,对测量结果进行校正。方法的本底为20fg,方法对^239Pu的检出限为43fg,测定限为88fg。所分析的水样中,井水中的^239Pu含量低于检出限,地表水中^239Pu的含量高于检出限,湖水和河水中的^239Pu高于测定限,但属于全球沉降引起的本底,不会对公众造成辐射危害。
