Description
By using HPGe γ-ray spectrometry, the activity of the long-lived fission product 126Sn in a SnO2 sample was measured. The number of 126Sn atoms and the ratio of 126Sn to Sn were calculated based on the half-life value of 2.35x105 a and the chemical stoichiometry. The result of the ratio of 126Sn to Sn, (1.033 ± 0.037)x10-8, is consistent with the results measured by the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) within uncertainty limits, which confirms our procedures in the measurement of 126Sn by AMS and lays a foundation for the AMS measurement of 126Sn at much lower levels.
