OSTI ID:4333953
A comparison is made between previous results and methods of solid carbon inside Geiger counters, gaseous samples in Geiger and proportional counters, and scintillation counters for determining C/sup 14/ activity. The Uppsata dating station is described and specifications on the counter, shielding, and electronics are given. The process by which the samples are purified and put into the proportional counter in the form of CO/sub 2/ gas is described in detail. The background count has been cut to 0.98 counts per minute due to the improved shielding. (W.D.M.)
