Rapid screening technique for gross α and gross β estimations in aqueous samples during radiation emergency
A portable liquid scintillation counting system has been used as a rapid screening tool for radiological characterization and in situ measurements of aqueous samples. The methodology was standardized based on the Pulse Length Index for gross α and gross β activity determinations in aqueous solutions by means of a portable Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC). This single compact PMT system yielded precise results for aqueous test samples, which were validated against a conventional HIDEX 300SL LSC system. The sensitivity of the portable LSC for gross measurements was investigated thoroughly for various combinations of scintillation cocktails and sample proportions, and found to be well below the Operational Intervention Levels (OILs) recommended by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) during radiation emergency scenarios. Gross α- and β-activity measurements by means of the portable LSC system have shown this procedure to be effective for preliminary screening and evaluating the total radioactivity in aqueous samples during such radiation emergencies.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
