A separation procedure was developed and implemented for the isolation of gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) radionuclides from deuteron irradiated Pt using tri-butyl phosphate (TBP) resin. Results of the procedure demonstrated a Pt recovery of 98 ± 2% and a Au recovery of 92±7%, in their respective fractions (n=4, ±1s). The decontamination factors were 2900 ± 500 for Au removal from the Pt fraction and 830±30 for Pt removal from the Au fraction (n=4, ±1s).
