2.
Applicability
This procedure applies to the Eberline Pacific Lab (DOE Element)
on Enewetak Atoll.
3.
Responsibility
The Eberline Pacific Lab chemist is responsible for the con-
duct of the Quality Control program.
He will prepare blind spikes that
will be processed in the normal procedure.
At completion, the letters "QC"
will be suffixed to the assigned sample number, and a comparison will be
made between the known and obtained values.
4.
Procedure
A.
Plutonium and americium by alpha spectroscopy.
1.
Tracers:
a.
Appropriate tracers will be added to determine the chemical
recovery of plutonium and americium.
b.
The plutonium tracer will be cross checked by alpha counting
against
a NBS standard, at time of preparation.
The americium
tracer will be a NBS standard.
c.
Purity or tracer will be determined by alpha spectrometry at
time of preparation.
