ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF STRONTIUM 89 AND STRONTIUM 90 IN SOIL AND MAT SAMPLES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4225470
Radio-strontiunn, together with added strontium carrier, is chemically separated, and the BETA activity is measured. After allowing the daughter element yttrium90 to grow nearly to equilibrium, radio-yttrium, together with added yttrium carrier, is chemically separated, and the BETA activity is measured. The counting equipment is calibrated against sources of known strontium-89 and strontium-90 activities. (auth)
