Standard Practices for the Measurement of Radioactivity
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 These practices cover a review of the accepted counting practices currently used in radiochemical analyses. The practices are divided into four sections:
|
| Section |
| General Information | 6 – 11 |
| Alpha Counting | 12 – 22 |
| Beta Counting | 23 – 33 |
| Gamma Counting | 34 – 41 |
1.2 The general information sections contain information applicable to all types of radioactive measurements, while each of the other sections is specific for a particular type of radiation.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Significance and Use
5.1 This practice was developed for the purpose of summarizing the various generic radiometric techniques, equipment, and practices that are used for the measurement of radioactivity.
