Comprehensive analysis of the isotopic composition of plutonium in the emission from the destroyed No. 4 unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant

A method is proposed for analyzing the α spectrum of plutonium fractions. The method is used to determine the isotopic composition of plutonium in soil samples taken at points of a reference grid and on certified test areas of the 30-km zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.[PUBLICATION ABST...
