Description

A method of measuring atmospheric krypton activity caused by the presence of the Kr-85 isotope is presented. Samples of krypton from the years 1950 and 1973 were measured. The krypton from 1950 showed an activity of 18+-9 dpm/millimol Kr. The krypton from 1973 showed an activity of 703+-dpm/millimol Kr. (author)
