Abstract
Carbon-14 and tritium are important radionuclides to be present in gaseous effluents of some nuclear power plants types. Tritium being usually included in gaseous effluents bearing carbon-14, the influence of its presence in the analyzes to be done must carefully be taken into account. When Liquid Scintillation Counting method is used, this influence can’t be completely eliminated by selecting different channels only for measuring carbon-14. In this paper, experimental verification of the influence of tritium on the carbon-14 measurements also miscibility of samples, detection efficiency and measurement precision were studied.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
