Abstract

Each concentration of specific elements in water extracted from the ash produced by an incinerator used for radioactive waste at the Kaya Memorial Takizawa Laboratory was simultaneously determined using PIXE established at the Nishina Memorial Cyclotron Center. Each concentration of the elements extracted from the ash depends on the pH of the water. The PIXE used in this study was shown to be a very valuable analytical method for environmental analysis.
