Summary
Present methods for monitoring Ru¹°³, Ru¹°⁶, and I¹³¹ in stack gases involve sampling by filtration and scrubbing and analysis by chemical separation and counting or by gamma spectrometry. Filtered samples, which are ordinarily collected over a complete day, are analyzed for total ruthenium and iodine by gamma spectrometry and for the individual isotopes by chemical separation and counting. The present scrubber monitors the sampler gas for total activity. As an aid to Radiological Sciences evaluation of stack gas hazards and to operations control of radioactive gas emission, Methods and Instrument Development collaborated on the planning of a continuous monitoring system. This memorandum has the purpose of outlining the plan, reviewing progress since conception in October, 1953, and reporting work still to be done.
