文摘

We developed a method to detect 226Ra in naturally occurring radioactive materials. A liquid scintillation counter (LSC) was validated with reference materials. LSC is preferable to γ-spectrometry with respect to the background count rate. LSC offers a better chemical separation than α-spectrometry.
