Monitor for low-level radioactivity in liquid streams
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5716581
A continual monitor for low-activity water streams is described. The monitor automatically collects constant-volume samples of the water, evaporates the samples to dryness, and presents the residues to two scintillation counters. It can reliably detect, within ten minutes, an ..cap alpha.. activity of 5.2 x 10/sup -11/ curie/ml, a ..beta.. activity of 7.3 x 10/sup -9/ curie/ml, and/or a ..gamma.. activity of 3.3 x 10/sup -9/ curie/ml.
