Abstract

A new Ra determination method is devised, storing the sample in a glass bottle with a Teflon stopper in an upside-down position, extracting Rn with liquid scintillator solution and combining integral counting with a liquid scintillation counter. This method realizes a high sensitivity of 5 × 10 −13 Ci Ra, eliminates the tedious procedure of transferring Rn through the vacuum system to the detector and makes possible repeated determination of Ra on the same sample without any further chemical treatment except extraction.
