     Gary,
     
     My former classmate named Barry Graham did his graduate thesis on 
     using ion exchange columns to process water samples for gamma 
     spectroscopy analysis while at San Diego State University in ~'78 or 
     '79. I don't think he is in health physics anymore, but you might want 
     to contact SDSU library for a copy of his thesis.

This is a question for the rad analytical community:
     
I'm trying to locate reference methods for using ion exchange columns to 
process water samples for gamma spectroscopy analysis.  That is, sending 
large volumes (several liters) of water through a column and counting of 
the exchange resin.  The only documented reference Iocated so far has been 
in a 1963 issue of the Health Physics Journal.  The HASL manual does not 
cover this method.  
     
Any help is greatly appreciated.
