Description

The rapid analysis method of 89Sr and 90Sr in effluent has been investigated using a liquid scintillation counter, which could distinguish the difference of β energy. Analyzed the imitation effluent samples including interference radionuclides such as 54Mn, 60Co, 106Ru, 137Cs, the good accuracy, precision and chemical recovery were obtained in the analyses. It took only 3 or 4 days to analyze them by this method, though it took a few weeks by the conventional methods. These facts made it sure that this method was worth enough for the analysis of 89Sr and 90Sr in effluent. (author)
