Determination of naturally radionuclides have been known well as an important topic in environmental study in recently. One of the most toxic radioisotope in nature, a daughter product of 238U decay chain is 210Po (polonium). The improvement and optimizations methods for determination of this attractive isotope are still presenting so far. In this paper, a new improved method was elaborated for 210Po determination in thermal water sample. In the proposed method, analytical optimization of spontaneous/auto deposition does not use Teflon cup, magnetic stirring or any preparing equipment/item only normal glass and a side of square silver. In addition, the optimization was neglected with absent of purification of polonium (Liquid-liquid extraction methods/Ion exchange chromatography/Extraction chromatographic separations). The outcome of optimal procedure were simplify, less time consuming, great reduction of costs with chemical recovery >80% and could apply for any liquid environmental samples.
