Description

Method for determining content of Np-237 in urine sample
Technical Field

Background
237Np is a transuranic actinide nuclide produced by the action of neutrons and uranium, is an alpha nuclide, and belongs to a highly toxic group. In-nuclear testing and production of natural uranium as fuel239Pu, uranium enrichment reactor, post-treatment and other nuclear facilities are released in the operation process237Np. To engage in237The Np-related operators are all likely to inhale237Np。237After entering the human body, Np is mainly deposited in the lung, and then in the liver, kidney and other soft tissues, causing internal irradiation damage. According to the related standards of ICRP No. 78 publication of personal monitoring of irradiation in workers, GBZ129-2016 personal monitoring Specification of occupational irradiation, etc., the methods for monitoring irradiation in individuals are mainly divided into direct measurement in vitro, analysis of excreta, and analysis of air sampling. By using internal irradiation of the faeces in the urine sample237The radiochemical analytical measurement method of Np is engaged in237Np operates the basic method of in-person radiation monitoring and evaluation.
At present, only the measurement of Netunium-237 in urine is performed in China (Yuanzu, Liaoxiangzhen, Netunium-237. atomic energy science and technology [ J)],1977(02): 203 plus 207.) and luyu chess (luyu chess, determination of neptunium-237 content in urine, prevention and treatment of Guangdong occupational disease [ J],1979(02): 18-19.) report in urination237Radiochemical analytical measurement of the Np content. Wherein the residual flare is in the urine237The key steps of measuring the Np content are as follows: adding bismuth phosphate to precipitate carrier neptunium; ② the neptunium is separated and purified by trilaurylamine-polytrichloroethylene chromatographic column; and thirdly, preparing the neptunium measuring source through electrodeposition of a nitric acid-oxalic acid system. The Ruyu chess is separated and purified by zirconium fluoride coprecipitation to concentrate neptunium in urine, extraction chromatography, and finally caught by lanthanum fluoride and fluorescent powderObtaining neptunium preparation measurement source. The main drawbacks of these two methods are: introducing new impurities of bismuth and zirconium in the process of coprecipitation and preconcentration of Np; secondly, the chemical recovery rate in the whole process is calculated by adopting the empirical recovery rate in the experimental process, so that the result error is large, and the data has contingency; thirdly, lanthanum fluoride and fluorescent powder are adopted for precipitation source preparation, so that the self-absorption is serious and the resolution ratio is low.
