Abstract

We have extensively studied the mechanism of the ¹³⁷Cs and ¹³⁴Cs contamination in CsI compounds. The nuclei ¹³⁷Cs and ¹³⁴Cs in various samples have been studied using a HPGe detector at deep underground. The main source of the ¹³⁷Cs contamination in CsI powder was desolved ¹³⁷Cs in the water used in the chemical process of cesium extraction at company side. We also found that ¹³⁴Cs was produced mainly from ¹³³Cs by neutron capture. We have successfully produced CsI powder containing no more than 2 mBq/kg of ¹³⁷Cs by using only ultra-pure water for whole extraction process from raw ore(pollucite).
