Simultaneous determination of gross alpha, gross beta and ²²⁶Ra in natural water by liquid scintillation counting.
The determination of gross alpha, gross beta and (226)Ra activity in natural waters is useful in a wide range of environmental studies. Furthermore, gross alpha and gross beta parameters are included in international legislation on the quality of drinking water [Council Directive 98/83/EC]. In this work, a low-background liquid scintillation counter (Wallac, Quantulus 1220) was used to simultan...
متن کاملOptimization Method to Determine Gross Alpha-Beta in Water Samples Using Liquid Scintillation Counter
Liquid scintillation counting (LSC) is an adequate nuclear technique to determine radioactivity levels, as verified by this study for the determination of the gross alpha and beta activities of aqueous samples because of its simplicity and low associated cost comparison with other techniques. This paper discusses a new approach to the monitoring of gross alpha and gross beta activities in water...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of radium and uranium activities in natural water samples using liquid scintillation counting
The determination of radium and/or uranium concentrations in natural waters is useful in a wide range of environmental studies. In this work, a low-background liquid scintillation system (Wallac, Quantulus 1220) was used to determine simultaneously 226Ra and uranium (total) activities in natural water samples. Sample preparation involved filtration and 1 : 10 concentration by evaporation. Then,...
متن کاملAnalysis of gross alpha, gross beta activities and beryllium- 7 concentrations in surface air: their variation and statistical prediction model
Background: Measurement of gross , gross activities, and cosmogenic beryllium-7 (7Be) concentrations were made both daily and weekly during the years 2001- 2004 from samples of atmospheric aerosols filtered from the air at Tehran Nuclear Research Center (35 41' N) and Zahedan (28 29' N). Materials and Methods: Weekly aerosol samples were collected with the high-volume air samplers on cellul...
متن کاملResults of a European interlaboratory comparison on gross alpha/beta activity determination in drinking water
An interlaboratory comparison was organised by JRC-IRMM among environmental radioactivity monitoring laboratories for the determination of gross alpha/beta activity concentration in drinking water. Independent standard methods were used for the reference value determination. The performance of participating laboratories was evaluated with respect to the reference values using relative deviation...
