Technetium-99 determination in low-volume samples from the global environment with accelerator mass spectrometry
{{output}}
The long-lived fission product technetium-99 (99Tc, t 1/2 = (2.111 ± 0.012) × 105 years) was successfully detected in small-volume (10 L, and 1 g, respectively) environmental samples such as Pacific Ocean and river water, Antarctic snow, and peat. Its presen... ...
