Description

A new method for the detection of Rb-210 has been presented. This nuclide is measured by an LSC Quantulus, which has an extremely low underground counting rate. Therefore very low detection limits can be reached. Pb-210 can be detected after a waiting time of only 4 hours after separation from the daughter product Bi-210. This time is necessary because of the chemoluminescene and the possible presence of disturbing Pb-212. (author)
