BEHAVIOR OF ORGANIC NITRO COMPOUNDS IN LIQUID SCINTILLATION COUNTING SYSTEMS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4248918
A study was made of the feasibility of using liquid scintillation techniques for the radioassay of C/sup 14/labelled organic nitro compounds. The results indicate that small quantities of radioactive nitro compounds, safficient for tracer or analytical applicrtion, can be counted in liquid phosphor systems with relatively high efficiencies. The advantages of this technique for the radioassay of explosive and/or volatile materials make it far superior to any other counting method. A general theoretical treatment of the liquid scintillation process is included. Factors influencing counting rates, such as the phenomena of light absorption and the action of wavelength shifters, are discussed. (auth)
