Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for simultaneous analysis of radiocarbon and tritium, the method including (i) mixing a radioactive waste sample containing a radiocarbon nuclide and tritiated water, and an oxidizing agent; (ii) oxidizing the radiocarbon nuclide in the radioactive waste sample to a gas containing an oxide of the radiocarbon nuclide by the oxidizing agent while suppressing volatilization of compounds containing gamma radionuclides other than the radiocarbon nuclide and tritium; (iii) discharging the gas containing an oxide of the radiocarbon nuclide by injecting an inert gas to the mixture; (iv) vaporizing and discharging the tritiated water in the mixture; and (v) analyzing radioactivity of radiocarbon and tritium from the discharged gas containing an oxide of the radiocarbon nuclide and tritiated water, and an apparatus for analysis of the same.
