LIQUID SCINTILLATION COUNTING OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF CARBON-14 AND TRITIUM

Journal Article · · Science See Saiensu

A method is reported whereby aqueous solutions containing weak beta emitters are dispersed as stable emulsions in liquid scintillator counting solutions. The method permits the routine counting, with about 10% efficiency, of large numbers of samples containing tritium and C/sup 14/. Selfabsorption does not present a problem when less than 5% aqueous phase is present. (auth)
