몇가지의 알파입자를 방출하는 핵종, 즉 악티늄족 원소들, $^{207}Bi$ and $^{210}Po$을 전해석출하는 장치를 만들었다. 스텐레스 원판으로된 환원전극에 이 동위원소들을 석출했으며(석출부분 직경=18mm), 산화전극으로는 백금선을 썼다. 전해질로 염화암모늄을 쓰고, 초기 pH=4, 염소이온농도=0.6M이하, 용액부피=15ml로 하여 1.5암페어(전류밀도=0.59A/$cm^2$)의 전류를 100분간 흘려주어 98.3%의 석출 회수율과 ${pm}$0.7%의 재현도를 얻었다. 석출된 시료의 알파스펙트럼을 측정한 결과 에너지 분리도로서 $^{210}Po=18.3keV, ^{234}U=21.8keV$ 및 $^{239}Pu=36.0keV$인 반치전폭(full width at half maximum)을 얻었다. 국산 천연우라늄(충북·괴산) 시료를 전해석출하여 그의 알파스펙트럼을 구한 결과 $^{238}U;:;^{234}U;=;:;6.1{ imes}10^{-5}$을 얻었으며 $1.8{sim}10^{13} neutrons/cm^2{cdot}sec$인 중성자속으로 144일 동안 쪼여준 238U 시료를 전해석출하여 그의 알파스펙트럼을 구한 결과 $^{238}U;:;^{239}Pu;:;241Am;=;100;:;0.0263;:;5.20{ imes}10^{-5}$을 얻었다. 조사시료중의 $^{238}U$에 대한 본실험의 정량결과는 고체형광측정법 및 질량 스펙트럼법에 의한 결과들과 상대오차 1.6% 이내에서 일치하였으며, $^{239}Pu$의 경우는 음이온교환분리-알파스펙트럼 측정 및 삼불화테노일아세톤(thenoyltrifluoroacetone)을 쓴 용매추출-알파스펙트럼 측정에 의한 정량결과들과 상대오차 ${pm}$4.0%이내에서 일치하였다
An apparatus was made for the electrodeposition of alpha emitting actinide nuclides, $^{207}Bi$ and $^{210}Po$. The electrodeposition was made on a polished stainless steel plate cathode. The anode was made of platinum wire and to stir the solution. With the ammonium chloride as electrolyte initial pH = 4, chloride concentration = 0.6M and solution volume = 15ml, a current of 1.5 ampere(current density = 0.59A/$cm^2$) was flowed for 100 minutes for the quantitative recovery of electrodeposition and on average recovery of 98.3% was obtained within ${pm}$0.7% uncertainty. Alpha spectrometry of the electrodeposited sample showed alpha peaks from $^{210}Po, ^{234}U$ and $^{239}Pu$ having energy resolution (FWHM) of 18.3, 21.8 and 36.0 keV respectively. The electrodeposition and alpha spectrometry for a natural uranium sample of domestic origin gave $^{238}U : ^{234}U = 1 : 6.1{ imes}10^{-5}$ and for a neutron-irradiated uranium sample did $^{238}U : ^{239}Pu : ^{241}Am = 100 : 0.0263 : 5.20{times}10^{-5}$. The result of $^{238}U$ determination in the irradiated sample by electrodeposition-alpha spectrometry was in accord within ${pm}1.6%$ of relative error with the results of solid fluorimetry and mass spectrometry. For $^{239}Pu$ the result of electrodeposition-alpha spectrometry was in accord within ${pm}$4.0% of relative error with the results of anion exchange separation and the thenoyltrifluoroacetone(TTA) extraction both followed by alpha spectrometries
