Abstract
The low values of isotope effects in the sorption/decontamination processes make it possible to investigate the properties of the sorbing and decontaminating agents with the use of stable isotope simulators. In the work present-ed here the element content was determined from the characteristic X-ray emission induced by the proton beam (PIXE), by gamma-ray emission from the radioactive source, and by emission from the X-ray tube. Based on the results of efficiency determination for different kinds of sorbents and decontaminants, recommendations have been given for the choice of materials having the wanted performance characteristics.
