Abstract A procedure for the simultaneous determination of241Am and239Pu or238Pu was carried out in samples such as air filters, sweep-tests, aqueous solutions and urine. The method described here includes a previous treatment of the samples in accordance with the type of matrix in which the actinides are included and a liquid scintillation counting using a two-phase cocktail. The upper detection limit was estimated to be 50 mBq for a 50-minute counting time.
