ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF GROSS BETA ACTIVITY IN VEGETATION, SEAWEED, FISH FLESH, SHORE SAND, SILT AND SEABED MUD BY THE 'INFINITE DEPTH' TECHNIQUE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4766360

Samples of vegetation, seaweed, and fish flesh are ashed and those of shore sand, silt, and seabed mud are dried. The activity of the sample is measured by a thin end-window Geiger-Muller tube which has been calibrated against a natural potassium chloride standard. The activity of the sample is expressed as equivalent mu mu c (K/sup 40/) per gram. (auth)
