ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE TOTAL ALPHA ACTIVITY IN LOW ACTIVITY EFFLUENT SAMPLES BY A DIRECT COUNTING TECHNIQUE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4714854
A suitable aliquot of the sample, dependent upon expected activity, is pipetted onto a prepared glass plate. The plate is placed under radiant heat lamps, and the liquor is evaporated to dryness. The plates are heated gently in a burner flame to remove the last traces of volatile matter and are then cooled and counted in an alpha scintillation counter. (P.C.H.)
