  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009877",
  "term": "Radiochemical yield",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The fraction or percentage of a specific radionuclide initially present in a sample that is recovered after a radiochemical separation procedure. It quantifies the efficiency of the chemical separation process for the target radionuclide. This yield is often determined by adding a known amount of a non-radioactive isotope carrier.",
