Description

An optimized method for determining beta-emitting 241Pu in the presence of alpha emitting nuclides was developed using a liquid scintillation counting system. PSA-level was setting using pulse-shape discrimination. The 241Pu counting channel was adjusted for maximum value of FM using the 241Pu standard source. The volume of scintillant was determined for the maximum value of counting efficiency. The optimized method of 241Pu has been applied to environmental samples to measure concentration of 241Pu in soils and mosses. Also it has been identified the origin of Pu deposited in Korea from the activity ratio 241Pu/239, 240Pu
