Radionuclides such as ⁷Be, ⁶⁰Co, ⁶⁵Zn, and ⁵⁴Mn are present in the magnet cooling water of a proton accelerator. These nuclides may be dissolved or bound to colloids and pass through micrometric filters below 100 nm. A cooling water purification strategy is discussed. The most efficient procedure uses a cation exchanger in H⁺ form.
