In recent years, radionuclide monitoring and contamination control have been attached great importance. Wide attention has been paid to the measurement and analysis of Neptunium (237Np) as one of the radio-nuclides. With the development of mass-spectrometry technique, the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique, with its outstanding advantage, has been widely applied to the measurement of237Np in environmental and biological samples. In this paper, the progress in analysis of237Np in environmental samples with ICP-MS technique is overviewed.

Abstract. The same unetched and chemically etched apatites from five rock samples were dated with U–Pb using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The objective of this study is to demonstrate whether or not the etching, needed for the apatite fission track analysis, impact on the obtaining of apatite U–Pb ages. The results of this experiment indicate that the etching has no effect on the determination of apatite U–Pb ages by the laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry technique. Thus, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry may be used safely for simultaneous apatite fission track in-situ and U–Pb double dating.
