Radionuclides of radium in water

Journal Article · Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1981 · Annu. Book ASTM Stand.; (United States)

OSTI ID:5612452

The method covers the separation of dissolved radium from water for the purpose of measuring its radioactivity. While all radium isotopes are included, the method is limited to alpha-emitting radioisotopes by choice of radiation detector. The most important of these isotopes are radium-223, radium-224, and radium-226. The lower limit of concentration to which this method is applicable is 1 pCi/liter; it may be applied to higher concentration by reduction of sample size. The method includes a discussion of interference, apparatus, reagents, sampling, calibration and standardization, procedure, calculation, and precision. (JMT)
