This document describes the principles for the measurement of the activity of 90<\/sup>Sr in equilibrium with 90<\/sup>Y and 89<\/sup>Sr, pure beta emitting radionuclides, in soil samples. Different chemical separation methods are presented to produce strontium and yttrium sources, the activity of which is determined using proportional counters (PC) or liquid scintillation counters (LSC). 90<\/sup>Sr can be obtained from the test samples when the equilibrium between 90<\/sup>Sr and 90<\/sup>Y is reached or through direct 90<\/sup>Y measurement. The selection of the measuring method depends on the origin of the contamination, the characteristics of the soil to be analysed, the required accuracy of measurement and the resources of the available laboratories.<\/p>\n

These methods are used for soil monitoring following discharges, whether past or present, accidental or routine, liquid or gaseous. It also covers the monitoring of contamination caused by global nuclear fallout.<\/p>\n

In case of recent fallout immediately following a nuclear accident, the contribution of 89<\/sup>Sr to the total amount of strontium activity will not be negligible. This standard provides the measurement method to determine the activity of 90<\/sup>Sr in presence of 89<\/sup>Sr.<\/p>\n

The test methods described in this document can also be used to measure the radionuclides in sludge, sediment, construction material and products by following proper sampling procedure.<\/p>\n

Using samples sizes of 20 g and counting times of 1 000 min, detection limits of (0,1 to 0,5) Bq\u00b7kg-1<\/sup> can be achievable for 90<\/sup>Sr using conventional and commercially available proportional counter or liquid scintillation counter when the presence of 89<\/sup>Sr can be neglected. If 89<\/sup>Sr is present in the test sample, detection limits of (1 to 2) Bq\u00b7kg-1<\/sup> can be obtained for both 90<\/sup>Sr and 89<\/sup>Sr using the same sample size, counting time and proportional counter or liquid scintillation counter as in the previous situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
