Comparison of the TriCarb and Hidex 300 SL technique using measurements of (241)Pu and (90)Sr on various samples

Soil and radioactive slurries were analyzed for the presence of beta emitting (241)Pu and (90)Sr. The comparison study between two different LSC apparatus, TriCarb 2200/2550 and Hidex 300 SL, shows good agreement for the quench corrected (241)Pu activity concentrations. The (90)Sr activity concentra...

Zusammenfassung:	Soil and radioactive slurries were analyzed for the presence of beta emitting (241)Pu and (90)Sr. The comparison study between two different LSC apparatus, TriCarb 2200/2550 and Hidex 300 SL, shows good agreement for the quench corrected (241)Pu activity concentrations. The (90)Sr activity concentrations of most soil samples were in agreement, and were confirmed by the recommended IAEA-375 value. The Hidex 300 SL is an excellent apparatus to measure pure β-emitters of routine samples.
