SummaryFor the determination of plutonium isotopes in environmental samples, chemical separation of plutonium together with a suitable sample preparation method for measurement is necessary. In this work, a combined method for the determination ofThe use of this approach gives the advantage of combining the strengths of both radiometric and mass spectrometric methods for plutonium determination after chemical separation from environmental samples.Results from the measurement of reference materials and from sediment samples from the Irish Sea are presented and the applied methods are compared with respect to their detection limits for the investigated nuclides.
