Low Level Liquid Scintillation Counting of Radioactivity in Food Products
The production rate is 7.5 kg isotope C-14 yearly. The C-14 concentration stays approximately constant due to rapid mixing of the atmosphere, although the cosmic intensity is higher at the poles due to the deflection of charged cosmic particles along the magnetic field lines of the earth (corresponding to neutron intensities in the ratio 5:1 at the poles and the equator, respectively). Conseque...
متن کاملDevelopment of a low background liquid scintillation counter for a shallow underground laboratory.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has recently opened a shallow underground laboratory intended for measurement of low-concentration levels of radioactive isotopes in samples collected from the environment. The development of a low-background liquid scintillation counter is currently underway to further augment the measurement capabilities within this underground laboratory. Liquid scintill...
متن کاملSurvey on the presence of Sr in milk samples by a validated ultra low level liquid scintillation counting (LSC) method
Sr is one of the most biologically hazardous radionuclides produced in nuclear fission processes and decays emitting high-energy beta particles turning Y. Sr is transferred from soil-plant to cow’s milk and then to humans if it is introduced into the environment. Radiostrontium is chemically similar to calcium entering the human body through several food chains and depositing in bone and blood-...
متن کاملThe Sandwich spectrometer for ultra low-level gamma-ray spectrometry.
The technical details and performance of the newly developed Sandwich spectrometer for ultra low-level gamma-ray spectrometry are presented. The spectrometer, which consists of two HPGe detectors, an active muon shield and a lead/copper shield with a convenient and rapid opening mechanism, is located in an underground laboratory at a depth of 500 m water equivalent. The data is collected in lis...
متن کاملLow Background Liquid Scintillation in Borexino
After a short introduction to solar neutrino physics, this paper describes the design concept and expected performance of the Borexino underground detector at Gran Sasso. Low background results from the Counting Test Facility, the rst phase of the Borexino project, are summarized.
