  • 1993:11 Methods for determination of strontium -90 in food and environmental samples by Cerenkov counting

    The procedure for determination of strontuim-90 (=yttrium-90) by HDEHPextraction of yttrium-90 and counting the Cerenkov radiation in a liquid scintillation counter, is applicable for all kind of samples. Prior to analyses liquid samples are evaporated to dryness and ashed. Environmental and food samples are oven dried and ashed. The ash is dissolved in 1 molar hydrochloric acid and, at pH...
