000029421 520__ $$aThe determination of environmental contamination with natural and artificial actinide isotopes and evaluation of their source requires precise isotopic determination of actinides, above all uranium and plutonium. This can be achieved by alpha spectrometry or by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after chemical separation of actinides. The performance of a sector-field ICP-MS (ICP-SFMS) coupled to a low-flow micronebulizer with a membrane desolvation unit, "Aridus'', was studied with respect to precise isotopic measurements of uranium and plutonium at the ultratrace level. The UH+/U+ formation rate was about 3x10(-5) and a sensitivity for U-238 of up to 4x10(9) counts s(-1) ppm(-1) was achieved. The limit of quantification (LOQ, 10s) for U-236 and Pu-239 using the experimental arrangement described above was 0.6 pg l(-1) in aqueous solution and 0.13 pg g(-1) in soil, respectively. ICP-SFMS was used in comparison to alpha spectrometry to measure the U and Pu concentrations and isotopic compositions in two soil samples and in one penetrator collected in Kosovo. ICP-MS permitted the determination of U and Pu isotope ratios including the U-236 abundance and Pu-240/Pu-239 ratio at ultratrace levels in soil samples of up to 0.1 g. Depleted uranium (U-235/U-238= 0.00202 +/-0.00001) was determined in one penetrator and one soil sample. Pu concentrations of (5.5 +/-0.1) x 10(-13) g g(-1) and (4.4 +/-0.5) x 10(-13) g g(-1) (Pu-240/Pu-239=0.35 +/-0.10 and 0.27 +/-0.07, respectively) were found in both soil samples from Kosovo. Besides plutonium, U-236 (3.1x10(-5) g g(-1)) and Am-241 (1.7x10(-12) g g(-1)) were also detected in the penetrator sample, which indicates the previous existence of neutron-related processes and points to a possible presence of spent reactor uranium in munitions. However, the most probable plutonium contamination sources in analyzed soil samples from Kosovo are mixed fallout including spent reactor fuel due to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986 and plutonium due to nuclear weapon tests. Additional plutonium contamination could not be determined in the Kosovo soil sample containing depleted uranium with a detection limit of about 10(-13) g g(-1).
