Description

This paper describes the implementation and validation of a method for determination of C-14 by radiochemical separation and measurement of the prepared sample using ultra low-level liquid scintillation spectrometer Quantulus 1220. The method was applied to samples of radioactive waste (RAW) from systems and equipment subject to decommissioning at Kozloduy nuclear power plant (NPP) units 1-4 with different types of solid matrices. Key words: radioactive waste, 14C, liquid scintillation counting, calibration
