THE RADIOCHEMICAL DETERMINATION OF STRONTIUM 89 AND STRONTIUM 90 IN VEGETATION, FISH AND SEAWEED ASH

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4293695

Radio-strontium, together with added strontium carrier, is chemically separated, and the BETA activity is measured. After allowing the daughter element yttrium-90 to grow in nearly to equilibrium, radioyttrium 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)
