Experimental data on the extraction of radium/polonium?

[donkeycopter]

I'm having difficulty finding some secondary data on the extraction of radium or polonium. Nothing specific, really just any practical data available on the topic - I'm getting desperate!

Historical data would be preferable, however modern data would still be great. By 'data' I just been any experimental data on how the process of radium/polonium extraction takes place (masses of each element in the ore, radioactivity levels, anthing!).

I know this seems like a vague thing to be looking for - I just need to analyze any data related to the topic.

One source of information is the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Material Management, which provides detailed reports on the production and utilization of both radium and polonium. These reports provide information on the sources of mined ore and the amount of radioactivity present in each ore, as well as data on the extraction process used to isolate radium and polonium. Reports can also provide details on the safety measures taken during production, storage, and disposal of radioactive materials. In addition, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) produces a series of publications related to the production, storage, and use of radionuclides. These publications include detailed reports on the extraction of radium and polonium, including information on the types of ore used, the chemical processes involved, and the safety measures taken during extraction. Finally, there are a number of research papers available that provide data on the extraction of radium and polonium from various sources. These papers describe the process of extraction, the amounts of each element extracted, and any safety measures taken during the process.
