Study on the Separation of 132Te From Fission Products by Precipitation

摘要

In order to measure precisely the decay data of 132I, radiochemical purity 132I is directly or indirectly separated and prepared from fission products of 235U. The source of 132I which is separated directly has some isotope nuclides such as 131I, 133I, 135I etc. that interfere measurement of 132I by HPGe γ detector. The method of 132I separated indirectly has two steps: 1) Its mother nuclide 132Te is separated from fission products; 2) 132I is separated from 132Te. By this method, the interference of other isotope nuclides of 132I is greatly decreased and even eliminated.
