The 6 MV tandem accelerator mass spectrometer has been developed for sensitive detection of ultra-trace amounts of cosmogenic or anthropogenic nuclides at the University of Tsukuba. The acceleration to high energies enables the identification of particles of multiple nuclides, and so far six nuclides, 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 36Cl, 41Ca, and 129I, have been detected at isotope ratio levels from 10-10 to 10-15. As new nuclides to be measured, we have been developing techniques for high-sensitive detection of 90Sr, 135Cs, and 210Pb by accelerator mass spectrometry. The status of measurement techniques and developments for those new nuclides will be reported.
