Low Level Liquid Scintillation Counting of Radioactivity in Food Products
The production rate is 7.5 kg isotope C-14 yearly. The C-14 concentration stays approximately constant due to rapid mixing of the atmosphere, although the cosmic intensity is higher at the poles due to the deflection of charged cosmic particles along the magnetic field lines of the earth (corresponding to neutron intensities in the ratio 5:1 at the poles and the equator, respectively). Conseque...

discussed, and he points out that merely because a disease is found to be familial in incidence does not mean it is hereditarily transmitted; leprosy, for instance, was long held to be a hereditary disease, and a law was actually proposed in the Norwegian Parliament forbidding the marriage of lepers for that reason. It was only with the discovery of the leprosy bacillus by Hansen that the true ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a low background liquid scintillation counter for a shallow underground laboratory.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has recently opened a shallow underground laboratory intended for measurement of low-concentration levels of radioactive isotopes in samples collected from the environment. The development of a low-background liquid scintillation counter is currently underway to further augment the measurement capabilities within this underground laboratory. Liquid scintill...
متن کاملAssessment of Quench Indicating Parameters (QIP) of an Alternative Scintillation Cocktail Mixture by Low Level Liquid Scintillation Counting
The evolution of the accurate, precise measurements and applied research in the nuclear field is entailed to the development of the new types of liquid scintillation cocktail, which have determined different technological applications in several areas. Aiming to reach this goal, the low-cost, suitable chemical composition, significant scintillation efficiency and high alpha-beta discrimination ...
متن کاملCocktails for Liquid Scintillation Counting
It is most important to assure 4 π−geometry in liquid scintillation counting for accurate results1. Usually this can be assured by dissolution of the sample in an appropriate cocktail. The cocktail does not only contain a solvent but also at least one scintillator and surfactants for aqueous samples because aqueous samples are completely insoluble in the pure organic solvents and scintillators....
